Chief Minister talks about exploitation of Sindh by Punjab and Federation of
Pakistan
Chief Minister of Sindh Government Qaim Ali Shah has said that Sindh is
being exploited and victimized. He said that even after contributing 72 percent
oil and natural gas in Pakistan, Sindh is given lesser return of 22 percent and
Punjab province is being given 45 percent; however the natural resources
contribution of Punjab in the federation is 6 percent. He further said that the
cooks and Imams of the mosques in the oil resources companies are being hired
from outside Sindh. He said that Sindhis are being treated as baggers in Pakistan.

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.
