He expressed this while delivering his presidential speech at a ceremony to mark 63rd Death Anniversary of the first female martyr of Hari Rights’ struggle Mai Bakhtawar Shaheed held in Sagiyoon on Tuesday night. He said that Sindh Hari Committee is the organization of Sindh from which many other political parties of Sindh were created.
He said that many people who were carrying struggle under leadership of comrade Hyder Bux Jatoi and others were martyred but still they did not quit from Hari struggle. He said that the revolutionary leader of China Chuan Li was also impressed from comrade Hyder Bux Jatoi’s struggle and Hari movement. He said that Hyder Bux Jatoi was a progressive leader and poet and he remained associated with leftist leaders till his death. He said that they are paying tribute to Mai Bakhtawar Shaheed who did not compromise with the area Jagirdars but continued her struggle for Hari Rights and even sacrificed her life.
Comrade Moula Bux Khaskheli, the labour leader and Secretary General Communist Party of Pakistan said that revolution is brought with mutual struggle of Haris and labour.

He said that their struggle is for rights of Haris and labour and they have never compromised against it; nor would they do so in future.
