Problem with Sindhi masses is that those are enfranchised and form the basis of PPP's electorate/voters enjoy numerous benefits from PPP, i.e. no-show jobs in various state institutions and their support to PPP is unwavering. The disenfranchised/majority of the Sindhi populace that don't vote and won't an iota on PPP's electorate power are too downtrodden and beholden to their feudal lords to never be of any consequence.
The real issue is the perennial support establishment has provided PPP going back to Yahya days. Without this support, PPP will melt away within an election cycle.
Agree which is why the PPP Is kept alive by the Pakistani political establishment and their overlords the "neutrals" which uses PPP and their local henchmen (waderas and other corrupt figures in the business, media, clergy etc.) as loyal "soldiers" on the ground to do their bidding and control this part of Pakistan (Sindh). Not much different from how the Sharif's and their party operates in Punjab. Sindh is just the epitome of this corruption and "arrangement".
If anything Sindh (along with Balochistan) and arguably areas of KPK is in need of support/help from Islamabad and Rawalpindi and the Pakistani state as a whole and its institutions, instead people in those provinces are left to their own and in the hands of their local oppressors/corrupt people.
This on the other hand and more worryingly (in particular in Balochistan) creates antipathy/hatred towards the Pakistani state which fails in its duty (in their eyes and rightly so in many ways) to help those very same people and this way the cohesion of Pakistan suffers as a whole.
Not only that PPP is using (at least fractions within that useless party) ethnicity and the legitimate plights of Sindhi people and tries to gain a monopoly and act like saviors of Sindhi people.
Their rhetoric in Sindhi is often very different from the one they use in Urdu when using Urdu.
In fact this is just cheap political rhetoric to a mostly ignorant (in many ways deliberately kept ignorant) local Sindhi populace, in particular in rural Sindh in regards to PPP and lack of other options.
So PPP of today (they were not always this bad) is just a consequence of the overall state of Pakistan and its institutions and the idea that Sindhis alone should revolt and change status quo makes little sense to me, as the betterment of Pakistan can only occur if the entire country is onboard and most importantly Pakistani state institutions ensure that there is judicial justice, law and order, much less corruption, functional government services etc.
The key to all this is obviously education and a more informed/educated local electorate. However this does not happen overnight and this is exactly what the waderas and the Pakistani elites does not want to occur as that would damage their firm grip on the country.
Of course locals in Sindh have a degree of blame, no doubt about this, but the solution lies elsewhere as I wrote as well as the main responsibility.
