Help

Well whatever I say in next lines are not my thinking but it is what I perceive when the word Sind Card is used.

It means as PPP is always in majority in Sindh and the people there are so loayal to PPP that they say labaik to every call of PPP. The PPP threatens the federation of using Sind card that if there demands are not fulfilled they may provoke Sindhi people against federation or at least they may not stop sindhi people whenever they get against federation. Although these words are not clearly said but only the word sindh card is used as warning and diplomatic word.

For example if Zardari is somehow impeached or forced to give resignation by PML N by judicicary or by Army the PPP may provke Sindhi people against Punjab or federation by all those grounds ( judicical murder of Bhutto, Assasination of Benazir, other PPP leaders the so called injustices dont by Federation or Punjab on SIndh like water, like using Karachi for mopstly their purpose) Sindh card may mean both, by provoking Sindhi people against Federation or If they are provoked themselves PPP leaders wont against say "Paksitan Khappey" so they use Sindh card in this way and threaten federation, PML N, judiciary and Army.

It is my understanding of Sindh Card.

The term "Sind Card" has been rightly elaborated by Arbab Danish.However i will add that PPPP has never resorted to arouse anti federation sentiments amongst Sindis or other small provinces.Differnces apart,PPPP has a credit of being the only party that enjoys considerbale political strength in all federating units.One may be critical of Political and administrative policies of the party , however no one can deny that presnce of PPPP is indispensible for survival of federation.It is also a a fact that PPPP leadership has faced partiality of influential forces at centre.At times complaints of persecution on account of Sindi back ground has been raised by PPP Leadership.However the overall policy of this party revolovs around the politics of federation.

Do you not really think that PPP is an anti-establishment party of federation and all the "cards" are *engineered, issued and used by the establishments ??

* Engineered term is used in meanings of "Designed, manufactured and then provided to use"

In one line, Sindh card is exploitation of concerns of Sindhi speaking ppl living in Sindh province that their ethnic and democratic rights are being aggrieved by other ethnicities living in the country.

I agree with Saleeqa Batool about this (PPPP is no doubt the only party which has its popularity, lesser or greater, in all federal units) .

"Sindh Card" is always used either intentionally or unintentionally. It is also used when Nawaz Shareef alone in his room thinks, should he work to destabilize PPPP govt and "Sindh Card" comes to his mind, and he stops thinking that, so its always used. And yes both federation and Sindh Card lie with PPPP.

An other very important card in Pak politics is Karachi Card in hands of MQM. because of this it gets hard for other parties to ignore them or do anything against them.

Is Pakistan ruled by card players?

Not literally, these are just terms not with literal meanings.

I mean it.
1. Nawaz Sharif is playing judiciary card, previously he played business card
2. PPP is playing Sindh Card
3. MQM is playing Karachi card
4. Imran Khan is playing Youth Card
5. PML-Q is playing establishment and Army card
6. Mulla group is playing Islamic Card

Yeah it's true and it's politics indeed, Whoever is strong with some resources he uses those cards.

In international politics and relations cards are also played.
recently in America Pakistan used many many cards, Afghan, Taliban card, Nuclear Card. Pakistan sometimes uses China card. Same way India always uses its big economy (huge population) card. Saudia plays oil card.
