Panjgur:Residents Rasool Bakhsh Walad Bahadur and Kareem Jan Walad Bahadur of Panjgur Gawargaw addressed a press conference along with other relatives, expressing concern over the forcible occupation of their lands. They emphasized that these lands are their ancestral properties, documented in the judiciary and Shariah courts. Despite legal verdicts against the opposition, they continue to face harassment and threats through the use of wealth and weapons.
The Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of Gawargaw were urged to take note of the injustices being committed against them and issue notices to the opposing party to abide by the law. They highlighted the historical ownership of their forefathers over a piece of dryland in Dan Sar, Tehsil Gawargaw. Abdallah Walad Bahadur had given this land for sharecropping to Pir Bakhsh in 1956, and its possession was documented accordingly. However, after Pir Bakhsh’s demise, his son, Muhammad Hussain Walad Pir Bakhsh, baselessly claimed ownership of their ancestral land, despite a judicial decree in their favor issued in 1996.
They further mentioned that during an attack by Muhammad Hussain and his associates, including 15 armed men, on them, Muhammad Iqbal Walad Muhammad Hussain, Saeedullah Walad Abdallah, and Bahar Walad Abdallah were present, threatening their lives and damaging their property by destroying tractors. They filed a request with Assistant Commissioner Gawargaw to take action against these criminal acts, but Major Luiz, due to his proximity to our opponents, ignored our request, put it in the trash, and refused to initiate an FIR.
They warned that if these culprits are not legally restrained, they will continue to pose severe threats to their lives and properties. They appealed to Commissioner Makran, Deputy Commissioner Panjgur, and Assistant Commissioner Gawargaw to ensure justice and restrain those hindering their work. They emphasized that they are law-abiding citizens and have every right to reclaim their ancestral lands, supported by all legal documents in their possession. They questioned whether any poor person lacks the right to reclaim their ancestral lands.
