A Unified Call for Action against Social and Educational Injustices from December 1 to December 31
Karachi, Sindh
The Sindhi Shagrid Tahreek (SST) has announced a historic month-long protest movement titled “Save Education, Save Sindh”, aimed at addressing critical social and educational injustices plaguing the province.
The Sindhi Shagrid Tahreek (SST) is the student wing of Awami Tahreek, a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist political party in Sindh, Pakistan, founded by the dynamic leader Rasool Bux Palijo. The party, headquartered in Hyderabad, advocates for social justice and progressive political ideology in the region.
This decision was taken during a meeting chaired by SST Central President Naveed Abbas Kalhoro, with participation of other leaders including Awami Tehreek’s Social Media Secretary, Izhar Daudpoto.
The campaign, scheduled from December 1 to December 31, 2024, aims to highlight and combat pressing issues such as:
* Encroachments on the Indus River and the adverse effects on Sindh’s water resources.
* The increasing dominance of corporate farming, which threatens the livelihoods of local farmers.
* The lack of libraries and public point buses, which undermines educational access and student mobility.
* The leakage of MD-CAT exam papers, compromising the integrity of medical education.
* Widespread drug abuse among youth.
* The unavailability of sports grounds, which limits opportunities for physical development and recreation.
SST has decided to hold protests across all districts and talukas of Sindh, starting with District Badin. The detailed schedule for District Badin protests is as follows:
* Dehi Town: December 6, led by Suresh Bheel, Kailash, and Akash.
* Korwah: December 10, led by Jameel Sarang.
* Kario Ghanwar: December 12, led by Dildar and Gulzar.
* Rajo Khanani: December 14, led by Rasheed and Suresh Bheel.
* Golarchi: December 15, led by Dildar, Jameel, Sajid, and Shahzad.
* Budho Qambrani: December 17, led by Suresh, Kailash, and Nadir.
* Tando Bago: December 18, led by Rasheed, Sagar, and Asghar.
* Dumbalo: December 20, led by Dildar and Gulzar.
The “Save Education, Save Sindh” movement represents a unified stand against the systemic challenges Sindh faces today. The SST believes these issues are not just a hindrance to individual progress but a collective crisis that demands immediate attention and action.
President Naveed Abbas Kalhoro emphasized the movement’s broader goal: “This is more than a protest; it’s a call for justice. Sindh’s youth deserve access to quality education, a drug-free environment, and spaces for intellectual and physical growth. This movement aims to unite communities across the province and ensure these issues are brought to the forefront of public and governmental attention.”
