DERA MURAD JAMALI: Provincial President of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), Balochistan, Mir Sadiq Ali Umrani, has said that his party will not compromise on the rights of poor and continue its struggle for democracy and rule of law in the country.
Addressing party workers and supporters in Goth Doni Wazir Khan Badozai in Bhaab area of Bolan district on Tuesday, he said that the leadership of PPP, including Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, sacrificed their lives but did not compromise on the rights of the downtrodden.
He strongly criticised the Balochistan government and accused it of completely ignoring eastern Nasirabad and Jaffarabad districts where even drinking water was not available.
