Referring to tribal disputes in northern parts of Sindh, she said that majority of feudals and sardars involved in tribal disputes were sitting in federal and provincial government and demanded an inquiry into the matter.

She added that present government had strengthened sardars and created new sardars in northern part of the province due to which Sardari system was running parallel with the government in the areas where tribal disputes were going on.

She said that until and unless people got justice under a regular legal system and murderers arrested, an end to tribal disputes was almost impossible.
