The Chief Minister Sindh, Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim has said that government employees are servants of people and they should fully take part in social service by solving the problems of people with honesty, truthfulness and sincerity.
He was addressing a gathering of Sindh officers of Grade 18-22 at Chief Minister House here on Friday.
Arbab said government officers should have their allegiance to country and nation, and provide relief to people without any political discrimination or affiliation.
The Chief Minister said that overall, the entire system in Sindh and its institutions have destroyed and various evils have enveloped the society, which have to be rectified and improved. If these were not reformed then we all are going to suffer, he cautioned.
Arbab said those raising the slogan of Jeeay Sindh, are practically playing no significant role for the progress and prosperity of Sindh while we will continue to raise our voice everywhere for the rights of Sindh.
The Chief Minister clearly announced that that he would make vigorous efforts at the federal level for the rights of Sindh because the centre has to do justice with all the four provinces.

He made it clear that whatever policies he would give he will get them implemented also. He will respect the good officers and give them good posting.
Pointing out that it is a democratic period, the Chief Minister said that people would bring pressures out of many expectations. But he would request the friends and politicians, not to bring political pressure because instead of accepting pressure he would prefer to choose another alternatives.
The Chief Minister said that honest, hard working and people-friendly officers will be given due credit while action will be taken against inefficient, lethargic and incapable officers.
