He said that the federal government will give soft loans to youth to start self-employment projects. “We want to do much more for Sindh, but the sword of the 18th Constitutional Amendment hangs over us,” the PTI leaders said. He said that although his party supports this amendment that ensures devoloutuion of power to provinces, many people have used it for protecting their corruption.

He said that during coronavirus pandemic the federal government gave Rs60 billion to Sindh, but these funds were plundered too. He said the PPP government wants all funds for its corruption.

He said people of Sindh would be given basic facilities.
