They staged a demonstration on the main road of the city and demanded ration from district administration and the Sindh government. The women, showing their identity cards of Sehwan city, raised slogans against the authorities as they did not receive any ration. They also raised slogans against the unfair distribution of ration.
“Only ration was distributed on favoritism and close to PPP affiliated persons and poorest families had not received ration” said Muradan Khatoon. “Our children were facing hunger and influential persons were hoarding ration,” said Amnat.
