Pakistan: Farmers warn they will participate in sit-in protest in Islamabad next week if demands not met

Quetta:  Kissan Ittehad Pakistan Chairman Khalid Hussain has threatened that they will participate in a  protest sit-in front of  the chief minister’s house here and D-Chowk in Islamabad if the government failed to implement within 10 days the relief package agreed with them in the federal capital, media reports said.

Addressing the press on Wednesday, Hussain was quoted as saying by Dawn News if their demands were not met, a sit-in would be staged in front of the CM House here on Nov 4 and at D-Chowk on the 5th.

He said 70 per cent of agricultural land and standing crops in Balochistan and Sindh had been destroyed due to the heavy floods over the last couple of months.

“The federal and provincial governments should immediately implement the package for the flood- and rain-affected landowners,” he said.

The Kissan Ittehad Pakistan earlier protested in Islamabad for eight days for their demands. During a meeting, the prime minister and federal ministers had assured them of announcing a package for farmers, who say nothing has been done so far.
