JACOBABAD, Nov 23: Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz chairman Bashir Qureshi said on Sunday that Sindh was rich in natural resources but they were being usurped by a particular province.

Speaking at a gathering here, he said that unemployment and poverty were rampant among the youths of Sindh who were compelled to commit suicide.

The recent incidents of handing over of children to the Edhi centre was shameful and termed it as outcome of price hike and lawlessness.

He said that the phenomenon of missing persons was the work of vested interests to harass Sindhi people so they might not raise voice for their rights and added that same inhuman attitude was meted out to Baloch people to deprive them of their genuine rights.Earlier, Mr Qureshi and other JSQM leaders were received by a large number of people who took them in a procession from Shaheed Allah Bux Park to Habib Chowk.
