LARKANA, Dec 24: The Chairman of the Sindh National Front (SNF), Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, has said that President General Musharraf is ruling Balochistan and NWFP through the army while Sindh is handed over to terrorists, extortionists and plunderers.

Talking to people in Daro and Juneja villages of Madeji taluka on Sunday, he said these terrorists were not only uprooting the Sindhis from their land but depriving them of their natural and constitutional rights.

Instead of getting uniting, the Sindhis were overtaken by differences and busy in tribal clashes while their waderas, pirs and mirs were serving their personal interests, he added.

People would have adopted path of revolution if this kind of scenario existed in any other country and hanged the rulers and their cronies on trees, he added.

Our silence would eliminate our existence and time demands for courage to face the situation, he said.

The SNF chairman said that corruption, unemployment, price hike coupled with poor performance of the government departments and lawlessness had made lives of the people miserable.

He alleged the elected representatives were busy in minting money while the law enforcers had become share holders of the criminals.

Mr Mumtaz Bhutto said education, health, irrigation and Hesco had also become sources of multiplying peoples’ problems while the rulers were busy touring the world by utilising peoples’ taxes.

He said people could no longer be kept on false hopes for they are getting sick of being consoled with mere lip service. It was time for the people to come out from the closed rooms for saving Sindh, he said.
