Speaking on the occasion, Ghulam Rasool Rahimoon, Rasool Bux Rahimoon, Mohammad Siddique Rahimoon and others said that after the defeat of PPP candidates in the general elections due to massive rigging, the party workers were totally dejected but after the PPP came into power, the sincere and committed workers of Tharparkar, except a few influential persons, had been totally ignored by the party leadership.

Corruption was at its peak and the crime rate was on the rise in Tharparkar district, they said and added that district coordinator Sharjeel Inam Memon who was elected from Nagarparkar seat, was residing in Karachi.

They said those people who had appeared in interviews for jobs were still waiting for the results. They complained that the local people were not being appointed in the Thar coal mines.

They appealed to the President, Sindh chief minister and other ministers to take notice of the excesses against the committed and sincere party workers.
