Shaheed Banzir Bhutto was also led in front row in the MRD Movement, he admitted that martyrdom by climbing the gallows and then the workers were also martyred.

Regarding local government, Shoro credited PPP for introducing the system in Sindh, empowering municipalities and corporations. The minister concluded by emphasizing PPP’s connection with the people, not just party workers.
