He criticised what he called PPP government’s excesses against political activists. He thanked the people of Sindh for closing their businesses to express solidarity following rumours about his death on Wednesday. He said that the influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs) of the NWFP and tribal areas into Sindh was not the only issue for the STPP because it demanded that all those who had settled in the province after 1954 should be deprived of the voting right.‘It is a struggle for our people’s sovereignty,’ he said. He said that thousands of STPP activists would block the Sindh-Punjab border near Ubauro (Ghotki district) on June 17 to send a message to the president and the prime minister about the demand of the people of Sindh. He said that demonstrations and token hunger strikes would be held in Sindh to mobilise people for the June 17 action.He said that the Awami National Party acted like a nationalist organisation in Sindh and a federalist party at the centre. Meanwhile, STPP leaders and activists offered Ghaibana Namaz-i-Janaza in Qasimabad for the workers killed on Wednesday.They took out processions and staged sit-ins in Tando Mohammad Khan, Nawabshah and other cities and towns of Sindh to condemn the killing of the workers.
