In a joint statement, the workers’ bodies rejected the Sindh and Punjab Labour Codes, labelling them as ‘anti-worker.’ The meeting also expressed deep concern over the government’s privatisation policy for public entities and the rising number of workplace accidents. It was decided that a nationwide protest would be held on October 7 against the labour codes, privatisation, and workplace accidents. The Secretary of the Employers Federation of Pakistan, Syed Nazar Ali, expressed serious reservations about the labour codes, stating that they were introduced without stakeholder consultation and would not be accepted. During the meeting, office bearers for the IndustriALL Pakistan Council were elected: Syed Ijaz Bukhari as Chairperson, Sultan Muhammed as President, Nasir Mansoor as General Secretary, with Niaz Khan, Sajjad Gardezi, and Sarzameen Afghani as Vice Presidents. Nowsher Khan was appointed as Deputy General Secretary, Abul Hassan Shah as Joint Secretary, Zia Syed as Press Secretary, Muhammad Saleem as Finance Secretary, and Saira Feroze as Women’s Secretary. The meeting called for tripartite labour conferences at the provincial and federal levels to formulate labour policies in consultation with all stakeholders and to create worker-friendly laws. It also demanded an end to the anti-national act of privatisation and urged for safer workplaces.

A large number of people, including members of various nationalist groups, lawyers and civil society activists, on Sunday visited the bereaved family to condole the death and called it a “gruesome murder” in police custody.

Family demands capital punishment to policemen who killed Dr Shah Nawaz Kunbhar ‘in custody’ Speaking to the media, civil society activists demanded the formation of a joint investigation team (JIT) to ascertain facts about the whole episode. They also demanded that the entire police team involved in the “so-called encounter” should be hanged to death and their officers who failed to let the matter proceed according to law must be punished.

They tried to torch the car with the body and driver but Kolhi managed to escape their wrath, Saleh Kunbhar said. “Our women, youths and children had been under serious threat since the first mob attack as the fanatics were out to kill us,” he said, urging the authorities concerned to fulfil their duty of ensuring the protection to the life and property of citizens from these “death squads”.

They noted that blasphemous material was being sent to his SIMs, WhatsApp and Instagram accounts even after they were turned off. He deplored that the fanatics did not heed any of his brother’s explanations. “Why did the police and security agencies not check the social media accounts when such material was seen and these platforms were being used to incite mob justice, violence and extremism?” they asked. Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz chairman Aslam Khairpuri and its another leader Dr Niaz Kalani, and Rawadari Tehreek leader Punhal Sario told the media that Dr Shah Nawaz Kunbhar was not given his right to be heard by a court of law.

They also demanded a judicial inquiry into the whole episode. “My son was a true Muslim; he was a topper in the medical university he studied in,” the mother said, and moaned that his body was not allowed to be buried in their ancestral graveyard. Dr Kunbhar’s widow said her husband used to teach the holy Quran to young children. “How could he indulge in blasphemy?” she asked. “We cooperated with the police when they came to arrest him; and we were satisfied that he would remain in safe custody till the matter was fairly investigated. But the police cheated us and killed him in cold blood,” she said, adding that killers of her husband must be awarded death sentence.
