While addressing the participants, Junejo and others said that the PTI government had forced over 16,000 families to undergo hunger after they were suddenly expelled from their jobs. They said economic murder of poverty-ridden farmers and their families had committed because of handmade irrigation water shortage.

They said Sindh had also been deprived from receiving proper NFC Award share by Prime Minister Imran Khan which had proved that he was treating Sindh province step-motherly and indifferently. They said it was really painful that people of Sindh were facing worst electricity and gas load shedding in this sizzling hot weather which proved the mala-fide intention of the central government. They provided justice to Sindh and its people.
