Murtaza Jatoi Criticizes PPP, Talks of Protests and Court Challenges in Sindh

National Peoples Party (NPP) chief and Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) leader Murtaza Jatoi appeared before the Anti-Terrorism Court in Naushahro Feroze, where the hearing was adjourned until May 5. After his appearance, Jatoi addressed the media, expressing frustration over the time wasted on court proceedings, which, he said, hindered his ability to engage in essential political activities.

Jatoi accused the government of filing fabricated cases against him and other political figures, but he assured that their morale remained high and that they would not be intimidated. He praised the determination of the lawyers who continue their struggle despite challenges, and emphasized that the federal government must take notice of the ongoing protests in Sindh.

In his statement, Jatoi also made strong comments about the growing resentment toward the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) among the people of Sindh. He claimed that the people of Sindh now harbor deep discontent for the PPP and called for a unified effort among all parties to rid the province of the PPP’s influence.

Speaking further in Goth Jalbani, Jatoi brought up the contentious issue of canal projects on the Indus River, stating that the GDA was resolutely opposed to any canal projects. He criticized the PPP for what he described as its long history of making wrong decisions out of greed for power. He declared that the PPP mafia had now been eliminated and that the GDA’s stance on the canal projects was clear and unequivocal: the people of Sindh would not accept them.

Jatoi accused the PPP-led government of destroying Sindh’s institutions and leaving the province’s resources in jeopardy. He claimed that PPP’s actions had left Sindh on the brink, with institutions now under the control of vested interests.

The GDA leader’s statements reflect the growing political tensions in the region, where both economic and institutional challenges have led to widespread discontent. Jatoi’s call for unity against PPP's influence, alongside his criticism of the government’s policies, resonates with many who feel marginalized by the current leadership.
