What is the jail -filled movement?

The prison movement, in 1947, was a form of widespread protests of politicians against the British rule over the Indian subcontinent, aimed at strangling government machinery.

In simple terms, government tasks were to be disrupted. Gandhi was the most prominent leader among those who adopted this protest method. Thousands of political activists involved in the prison movement reach the police or other security forces and present themselves for arrest, or practically do something that they should be arrested, such as blasphemous slogans against the government. etc.

The capacity to keep prisoners in prisons before the partition and still in prisons is quite limited. Almost always a large number of people in prisons are a difficult process. This is a fact that prisoners try to take advantage of.

In recent history, Indian social activist Anna Hazare announced in 2011, announcing a prison protest and forced the then central government to kneel. On the demand of Anna Hazare to avoid a major political crisis, the government approved the "Jin Lokpal Bill" to appoint a citizen ombudsman.

Anna Hazare, who was detained in Delhi, had to be released by the government. Millions of Indians who signed and protested the online petition supported Anna Hazare. The then Indian government took every possible step to neutralize Hazara's prison protests, but nothing did not work.

For example, in Mumbai, the police decided that a section of the MMRDA Ground or the Kalina police ground should be declared jail and everyone there should be detained.

History of "Prison Bharo" in Pakistan

Pakistan has seen only one prison protest in 75 years. Zia -ul -Haq's government declared a prison movement in the early 1980s against the government of Zia -ul -Haq.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), was among the politicians who were jailed by the military government. The arrest continued them and they were highlighted on the political scenario. The arrest proved to be the first major milestone of his political career.

Thousands of people were arrested during the MRD movement in Punjab, but in Sindh he took a violent turn, where clashes broke out between protesters and security forces and eventually the movement was crushed here.

A research paper by Khalid bin Saeed offers a glimpse of how such demonstrations appear and why the attempt to mass arrests is seen as a violence. In late 1983, about 50,000 followers of Makhdoom Hala gathered for arrest and blocked the national highway for several hours. ”

In the end of August and September, when the movement became rapidly militant and violent, the army had to be brought, and some important towns in Central and Northern Sindh had to take control. All the universities were closed. A press note issued by the district magistrates of Nawabshah, Sukkur, Larkana, Jacobabad and Khairpur districts cited shootings between protesters and police and attacks on banks, factories, government offices and railway stations.

It seemed that some important towns and cities located along the Western Railway route were carried out to affect railway communication between Sindh and Punjab. It was also suggested that the purpose was to damage the traders and businessmen of Punjab who rely on the import of goods, especially oil imports from the port of Karachi.

It is believed that in 1983 when the movement in Sindh is at its peakIf there was violent incidents, the authorities gave the opportunity to crush the movement. Later, many political activists of the 1980s were found to say that although the MRD did not achieve its goals, it created political awareness among the people.
