KARACHI – A journalist who broke a story about the presence of rented crowd in Pakistan Peoples Party’s recent train march has alleged police of harassment.
Aziz Memon had filmed a number of protesters who claimed that they had joined Caravan-e-Bhutto after receiving money – a claim which dealt a blow to the march led by its party chief.

The journalist has now released a brief video message claiming that SSP Naushahro Feroze and party loyalists had disrupted his routine life and tightened the screws on him.
‘My children are being threatened, prompting me to head to Islamabad,’ said the journalist while urging the redressal of his grievance.
Memon categorically rejected association with any political entity including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari recently led a train march from Karachi to Larkana wherein he fired a broadside at the sitting regime for its economic policies besides taking aim at National Accountability Bureau for ‘political engineering’.
The train carrying PPP chief and Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah among other leaders stopped at different stations where Bilawal Bhutto addressed the participants.
The Sindhi journalist had interviewed a few participants of the trian march who had claimed that they were promised Rs 2,000 for joining the rally; some even alleged that they were not fully compensated.
