HYDERABAD, April 8 Sindh United Party leaders Dr Dodo Maheri, Roshan Ali Buriro and Ameer Ali Thebo have said that the destiny of Sindh cannot be changed unless real well-wishers of the province are elected to assemblies.

They were addressing public gatherings in Allahdad Chand Goth, Tando Mir Mohammad and Tando Agha to motivate the people to attend the SUP's public meeting scheduled for April 11 in Hyderabad.

They said that the elected representatives of Sindh were sitting quiet in parliament and the Sindh Assembly, and added that the province was not on the priority list of the federal parties.

Sindh contributed 70 per cent revenue to the federation but the people of the province were deprived of even clean drinking water and hepatitis and jaundice had assumed alarming proportions, they said.

They urged the people of Sindh to strengthen the SUP and its leader Syed Jalal Mehmood Shah to bring about changes in Sindh.

STP Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi has said that the PPP-led government has failed on all fronts and after the passage of one year, it has failed to deliver anything to the people.

He was speaking at the opening session of two-day central committee meeting of the STP at the Taraqqi Pasand House.

He said that the domestic and foreign policies of the government had failed and the rulers were trying to hide their political blunders and weaknesses. It had been proved that the so-called slogan of reconciliation was aimed at hoodwinking the people and was just a fraud, he said.

He said that the government had come into power on the blood of Ms Benazir Bhutto but it had disappointed the people and hurt their sentiments and aspirations. So much so that it had neither been able to ensure arrest of the assassins of Benazir Bhutto nor discarded the anti-people and anti-state policies of Pervez Musharraf, Mr Magsi said.

The Sindh government had also failed to provide any relief to the people of the province, he said, and added that the people of the urban areas had been left at the mercy of what he called terrorists and bandits had taken over the control of the rural areas.

The STP leader said “Natural resources of Sindh like oil, gas and coal have been handed over to outsiders and Sindh has been denied its water share for the last 150 years as a result its agriculture and environment have been destroyed.”

He held the federation, the Punjab, feudal system and coalition partners of the government responsible for the predicament of the people of Sindh.
