I request the representatives of Balochistan to pay a little bit of justice to the people of their constituency affected by the recent stormy rains and floods. Allah has honored you because of the people and their votes. Whatever you are today is because of their votes. Therefore, it is your duty to work for your people as per your ability in this difficult time. Go ahead and take part in the relief work yourself instead of obstructing the good works of others, she underlined.

The negative propaganda about the activities and the efforts to prevent us from helping the people are anti-people which we strongly condemn, she said.
