Talking to media persons, he said that the bank will play an important role in the development and prosperity of small farmers in the province.

Provincial ministers, senior officials and President Sindh Bank Bilal Sheikh were also present on the occasion.

"This was the long standing demand of the people of Sindh particularly small farmers. This was badly needed to support agriculture sector in the province", he added.

He was of the view that Sindh should get its due share in country's economy and wealth.

Replying to a question, he said that Sindh Bank was not a property of Sindh government or him. This belonged to the people of Sindh, he noted.

He further said that Sindh Cabinet has approved the establishment of Sindh Bank and all the concerns of coalition partners in the Sindh Government were also removed.

He made it clear that all the appointments in the bank were made

on the basis of merit and qualification and its accounts will be duly audited and inspected every year.
