PPP & voters

Published August 3, 2015

WITH the PPP co-chairman holding meetings of his party in Dubai for reshuffling in the Sindh cabinet, it has become clear that Karachi has lost its status as capital of Sindh.

Our forefathers struggled against foreign rule, but our own rulers have destroyed whatever foreign rulers had put in place.

Now voters from Sindh have to awake up from the drugs administrated by the PPP for decades in the shape of emotional slogans like martyrdom, sub-nationalism, exploitation by Punjab, and victimisation by judiciary. Voters are justified in asking why financial health of the ruling elite and their power remain unaffected.
