Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday said that the faulty census of 2017 had shown 47.8 million population of the province but a Unicef survey suggested that the population of Sindh stood at 61.04m.
“If the population of the province is counted at 61.04 million, the share of the province in the national resources will go up from about 24 per cent to 29pc,” he added.
Speaking at a press conference here at CM House, Mr Shah said that the 2017 census was conducted after 19 years of the 1998 census, but it became controversial as soon as its provisional results were declared during the tenure of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government.
