Ailing former Larkana PML-N leader sets himself on fire

Former PML-N district Larkana vice- president Syed Nisar Ali Shah attempted self immolation against what he called “ignorance by the PML-N’s central and provincial leadership” at Larkana Press Club on the arrival of PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif on Saturday.
Nisar reached the Press Club, sprinkled petrol on his body and torched himself before the public. Media and others intervened to save him, however 60 percent of his body was burnt. Police did not take preventive measures despite Nisar announcing he would attempt self-immolation a day earlier.
Market Police Station Larkana city SHO reached the location and took Nisar to the CMC Emergency Ward ICU where his condition was said to be critical. Meanwhile, Sindh Law Minister Mohammed Ayaz Soomro along with Deputy Commissioner Larkana Abdul Aleem Lashari and party leaders and workers reached the hospital and enquired after his health. Soomro announced financial assistance and a job for the suffering PML-N worker. Soomro said being PPP district Larkana president and a government representative it was his responsibility to take care of every citizen in his government.
