The leaders of Gwadar Fishermen Union Khudada Waju, Younus Anwer, Jahangir, Imam Buksh, Hameedullah and others have announced to set striking camp against provincial government until they fill their demands.

“We have presented our concerns and demands before Chief Minister Balochistan, Standing Committee, elected MNA and MPA of Gwadar but yet we haven’t seen any development upon our demands beside fake promises.” They said adding without addressing our demands construction of Eastbay Expressway raises many questions.

They added that fisheries the backbone of economy of citizens of Gwadar, barring fishermen from sea would be tantamount of economic murder of fishermen of Gwadar.

“Along with Government Ministers, we have discussed over reservations with opposition members as well and asked them to discuss this valid issue on the Assembly floor.”
