SHIKARPUR, Oct 7 The Awami Tehrik would set out on a 46-day long march on foot from Kashmore on Oct 8 to mount pressure on the federal government to restore Sindh's rights, including provincial autonomy and control of the province over its resources.
The party spokesman Abdul Qadir Ranto told journalists here on Wednesday that the long march would terminate on Nov 22 at the mausoleum of Quaid-i-Azam from where a procession would march to the Karachi Press Club. The party would hold a public meeting at the press club, Mr Ranto added.
He said that the government had disappointed Sindhis by its utter failure to solve nagging problems of the province, including deteriorating law and order situation, rampant corruption and poor performance of education and health sectors.
He said that Sindhi people had been deprived of their fundamental rights and the Awami Tehrik had launched this movement to press the government to give people back their rights.
