KHAIRPUR, Feb 24: Jeay Sindh Mahaz president Zain Shah has observed that with the opening of the Khokhrapar-Munabao route, the people of Sindh and India would come closer.

He was speaking at different gatherings in Khanan Shah, Liyari, Burgri, Bachal Shah Colony, Wapda Colony and other areas here on Friday. Agha Qambars, Ghulam Rasool Sehto, Kamran Durrani and other party leaders accompanied him.

About construction of dams, he said construction of any dam on the River Indus would not be accepted.

He accused agencies of creating the present crisis in the country.

During his visits to different areas, 50 people announced joining the JSM.
