“There is a fear that due to short span of the house count, the people living in Kohistan [mountainous regions in Sindh], Tharparkar, forests and far off villages will be left out,” said Palijo.
He accused the Pakistan Peoples Party of working to show the population of Sindhis in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Mirpurkhas lower than other ethnic communities.
