The slogan "We will not show Sindh" is not of the PPP or the nationalists, but of the people.

Former Federal Minister Mustafa Kamal criticized the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for not devolving powers to the local level despite the 18th Amendment, claiming the Chief Minister controls all resources while Karachi faces severe neglect and corruption. He accused the PPP of rejecting the 26th Amendment, which would empower local bodies, due to personal political and financial interests, not a principled stand against new provinces. Kamal emphasized that the slogan "We will die, but not give up Sindh" is the voice of the Sindhi people, not just political parties, reflecting public frustration over Karachi's deteriorating infrastructure and lack of basic services. Former finance minister Miftah Ismail attributed the debate over new provinces to the PPP's poor, incompetent, and corrupt governance in Sindh, highlighting Karachi's disproportionate share of resources despite its large population. Speakers advocated for empowered local government systems, suggesting that every division in the country should become an administrative unit responsible for local services.
