Chief Minister Sindh said this while talking to a public gathering in Jhol Tahsil (sub-district) of district Sanghar. There is mass movement in Sanghar and other districts of Sindh for the employment rights and natural resources in Sindh. Sanghar, being a stronghold of Pakistan Muslim League – Functional (PML-F) and Pir Pagaro’s Hur Jammat, recently created a greater public pressure for the natural resources rights. A couple of days ago, Sindh Police, in association with other armed forces, raided PML-F Parliamentarian’s house in the fake cases, which turned into an armed conflict between residents of Jhol and the armed forces. Sanghar district has also observed shutter-down strike over the incident. Sindhi people, mostly led by Sindhi nationalists, have been massively protesting for royalty, employment and other rights associated with the natural resources of Sindh.
