JSM-Z: Leaders of major political and religious parties, including the People’s Party Parliamentarians and all the factions of Muslim League, are creating problems for the country, specially for Sindh.

Shah also accused the leaders of political and religious parties of destroying the country’s as well as the province’s economy.

He said that the leaders of political parties had kept their personal interests supreme and had done nothing for the betterment of the masses while betraying the confidence reposed in them by the nation, adding that they had also usurped the fundamental rights of the people.
