Grenade event in Sindh, Larkana area, Pakistan on Tue 15th October 2024

A hand grenade attack targeted the home of Nisar Khuhro, the Chairman of the Sindh Public Accounts Committee and President of the Sindh chapter of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), in Larkana town (Larkana District) of Sindh on October 15, reports Aaj TV. The hand grenade attack caused no casualties or property damage. Two individuals on a motorcycle allegedly attempted to throw a hand grenade into Khuhro’s residence. However, the device, described as a “cracker” by Police, failed to enter the house due to the high walls. At the time of the attack, Khuhro was not present at his home. In a statement, Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) ‘spokesperson’ Sodho Sindhi claimed responsibility for the attack. Sodho Sindhi stated that the PPP has, since its inception, acted as a facilitator of the Pakistani state and made decisions that are detrimental to the interests of Sindh. The spokesperson accused the PPP of being complicit in the auctioning of Sindh’s lands, islands, and forests under the guise of initiatives like the Green Pakistan Initiative and agricultural farming. He also mentioned that the construction of dams and canals on the Indus River, which are destroying the river and delta, are decisions that the PPP and its anti-Sindh leadership have been involved in, all for the sake of maintaining their power by aligning with Punjabi imperialism. He further said that in its pursuit of power and position, the PPP has always been at the forefront of damaging the tolerant and civilized secular spirit of Sindh to appease Punjab.
