Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal on Monday said that the most important point of PSP's draft about local body is the formula by which financial resources received by the provinces under the NFC will be transfered.
The nation should ask the rulers not for bread, cloth, and shelter but for the authority and resources to earn bread, make clothes and shelter to live, so that every Pakistani can have access to all welfare facilities.
"The PPP-led provincial government is listening to our demands, We are sitting here until our demands are met," he said.
Although PSL is very important for the image of Pakistan but people who are deprived of basic facilities like electricity, water, and gas have no concerns about PSL.
Kamal expressed these views while talking to media on the second day of PSP's sit-in at Fawarah Chowk against the black local body law.
PSP President, Anis Kaim Khani and other central leaders were also present on this occasion.
Mustafa Kamal added that Pakistan's administrative and financial situation has deteriorated.

The funds received by the province from the federation are not transferred at the local government level.
He said that the province gets Rs1,200 billion annually from the federation but people are deprived of basic facilities including education, gas, electricity, drinking water and medical.
Chief ministers of all the four provinces have retained all the powers and resources.
That is why this country is not functioning. We have not yet become independent nation.
He said, "In my time as mayor of Karachi, I invested Rs300 billion and the city was ranked 4th fastest growing city in the world.
