Different factions of the Jeay Sindh movement gathered in Sann, Jamshoro district, on Saturday to mark the anniversary of the founding leader G M Syed, reaffirming their commitment to continue what they described as a long political struggle for Sindh’s rights.

Large public meetings and rallies were held under various nationalist platforms, drawing thousands of supporters to the small town, which has long been associated with Syed’s legacy. Addressing a public gathering, Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) Chairman Sanan Qureshi paid tribute to Syed’s lifelong political struggle, saying he spent decades in imprisonment and confinement for what he called the rights of the people of Sindh.

He alleged that exploitation of Sindh’s resources continues unchecked, while corruption, crime, narcotics and tribal conflicts are worsening the province’s situation. “The system has been opened to mismanagement and decay,” he said, without naming specific officials.
