Talking to newsmen, Amir Bux Bhutto, an SNF leader, said that innumerable excesses were being committed against Sindh by the federation and the rulers were violating the 1940 Pakistan Resolution.
He said Sindh was contributing 70 per cent of the total income of the country to the federation but its people had even been deprived of basic health facilities.
He said the people of Sindh will not allow the construction of the greater Thal canal and they will continue their protest against this anti-Sindh project.
He severely criticized the Sindh government saying that just to prolong its rule, the Sindh government had sold out the interests of the province.
Mr Amir, however, warned that the people in power “will ultimately have to return to their villages and face the consequences”.
He said after looting the provincial resources and plundering various organizations, the ministers were now fighting over the relief foods.
He said that the Sindh chief minister was totally helpless and no senior officer was prepared to obey his orders. He wondered as to how such a chief minister would be able to plead Sindh’s case with the federation and Punjab government.
Speaking on the occasion, the general secretary of the party, Gul Muhammad Jakhrani, warned that if the construction of the greater Thal canal was not stopped, the people of Sindh would block all roads leading to Punjab.
GSTA: The executive committee, Government Secondary School Teachers Association, Sindh, at a meeting held on Monday demanded the Sindh government not to charge admission and examination fees from the primary, secondary and college students of Badin, Tharparkar, Thatta and other rain-affected districts as they were not in a position to pay any fees.
It further demanded that the students of the rain-affected areas should be given financial aid.
The central president of the association, Abdul Ghani Kumbhar, presided over the meeting.
The meeting severely criticized the alleged malpractice of the EDO (education), Jacobabad, and demanded that he should be placed under suspension and an inquiry should be conducted against him through a judge of the High Court.
It accused the EDO of destroying the educational system of the district.
It claimed that the EDO had committed many irregularities and violated the declared policy of the government by appointing junior officers and teachers at senior posts.
The meeting warned that if the said officer was not removed forthwith, the association would be forced to launch a protest movement throughout the province.
