Hyderabad / Kathmandu
A session of the recently held international conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, focused on pressing issues such as corporate farming, the destruction of the Indus Delta, threats to the existence of the Indus River, and the burden of debt imposed by global institutions that enslave poorer nations.
Advocate Kainat Dahri, central information Secretary of the Sindhyani Tehreek, participated in the conference, a Sindhyani Tehreek press release said here.
Slogans such as “No to canals!”, “Say No To Corporate Farming” and “Let the Indus River flow!” echoed throughout the event.
The conference adopted a resolution against corporate farming and canal construction, emphasizing the need to maintain the natural flow of the Indus River.
At the request of the Sindhyani Tehreek, participants held placards demanding an end to canals and corporate farming as a form of protest.
Addressing the conference, Advocate Kainat Dahri, stated that the Pakistani government has laid a web of dams and canals that has devastated and destroyed the Indus Delta.
She declared that six new canals are part of a genocidal conspiracy against seventy million Sindhis.
She added that while the Indus River is being slaughtered, corporate farming is being used to seize land from the Sindhi people, rendering them stateless in their own homeland—just like the Palestinians. (PR)
