Hyderabad, Sindh

The Central Committee of Sindhyani Tehreek decided on Sunday April 27, 2025 to organize month long rallies named as ‘Whistle March’ from May 15 to June 15 to mobilize public resistance against corporate farming and controversial canals.

Chaired by Senior Vice President Zarqa Halepoto, the meeting reviewed the ongoing protests across Sindh against corporate farming and new canal projects and made important decisions to escalate the movement.

The meeting decided that Sindhyani Tehreek’s women members will actively join the lawyers’ sit-in protest at Babarloi Bypass on a daily basis.

Addressing the meeting Leaders said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government is conspiring to violently suppress Sindh’s peaceful democratic struggle. They condemned police brutality against peaceful protesters in Kashmore, Malir, and other towns, calling it the PPP’s worst fascist face.

The leaders highlighted that since the passage of the Board of Investment Amendment Act 2023, a black law, protests, rallies, hunger strikes, and seminars have intensified, turning all of Sindh into a hub of resistance.

They slammed the destruction of the Indus Delta, the world’s fifth-largest delta, due to water diversion, leading to the collapse of mangrove forests and extinction of aquatic species.

They warned that six new canals would result in the genocide of 70 million Sindhis by exacerbating water scarcity and displacing communities.

They demanded immediate cancellation of land allotments to Green Corporate Initiative Private Limited and Amendments to the IRSA Act (Indus River System Authority Act), which they claim prioritizes corporate interests over Sindh’s rights.

Sindhyani Tehreek hailed the Babarloi sit-in and urged all Sindhis—students, farmers, laborers, intellectuals, journalists, and citizens—to strengthen the peaceful democratic struggle and reject propaganda inciting violence.

The ST vowed to resist corporate exploitation and “anti-people” policies until Sindh’s resources and rights are safeguarded.
