The protesters demanded that Sindh's land be allocated to local, landless farmers rather than corporate entities.
The march saw active participation from women and children, with villagers along the route warmly welcoming the demonstrators. Upon reaching KN Shah, the protest culminated in a massive public rally where leaders delivered passionate speeches, urging the government to halt land seizures.
They called for the prioritisation of local farmers by providing modern agricultural tools and support to improve productivity, reported Dawn.
Key speakers at the rally included AT leader Noor Ahmed Katiar, who condemned the planned network of new canals meant to supply water to corporate farming projects. Katiar warned, «This will lead to a crisis in Sindh,» and accused former President Asif Zardari of violating the Constitution by approving the construction of six new canals, as highlighted by Dawn.
