KARACHI -- Questioning the Sindh government's claim that it had spent billions of rupees in providing handouts to the needy people across the province, Pak Sarzameen Party chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal on Sunday called upon the authorities to tell the people when, where and to whom they had provided rations.

He said this while speaking at a press conference at his party's Pakistan House headquarters, where a blood donation camp was organised for patients of thalassaemia.

'The provincial government of Sindh has been claiming that it has distributed relief goods worth billions of rupees.

He said that the government must not ignore the masses while announcing lockdown restrictions. 'Lockdown should be implemented but the government must take care of its citizens by giving them a relief package.'

Mr Kamal said that the PSP supported the measures being taken by the federal and provincial governments as they were more aware of the real situation.
