SUKKUR: In a campaign to end the nationwide corruption, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took out a massive rally from Karachi on Wednesday, which reached Badin and Sanghar on Wednesday. The rally was led by Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Vice-Chairman PTI.

While addressing the participants of the rally Shah Mahmood Qureshi, said billions rupees were issued by the federal government to provincial government for development and employment of youths through National Finance Commission Award (NFC Award) but the amount was assimilated through corruption and without any accountability.

Qureshi asked the participants whether education, schooling, employment, labour and communication facilities were provided to them and the participants responded none of them were made available in their villages and towns. The entire nation is facing terrorist assaults throughout the country, he added. Qureshi said the existing system in Pakistan has proved ineffective and it is the need of the time to change it as soon as possible.

He thanked Dr Fehmida Mirza and Dr Zulfiqar Mirza for warm welcome and hosting the rally in district Badin, along with his elected representatives, including Tariq Aziz Memon, Ghulam Husain Soomro, Essa Mallah and others. Qureshi said the people of Badin were revolutionary. He said elected representatives of the ruling party of Sindh were involved in kickbacks and selling out jobs.

He said morally Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah has no right to continue as chief minister after the remarks of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, who had said the works in Sindh will not move ahead unless Qaim Ali Shah remains in the office.
