Division of Sindh an 'unforgivable sin'

Farooq Sattar
SUKKUR: With fingers raised at Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s Twentieth Amendment Bill, calling for the creation of Southern Punjab and Hazara provinces, MQM’s Farooq Sattar on Friday said that his party deemed the division of Sindh an “unforgivable sin”.

Sattar, who was speaking at a rally in Sukkur, snubbed the Sindh Assembly’s earlier opposition which called MQM’s Twentieth Amendment Bill a “furtive action” and said that it was meant to divide the province and carve out another province where MQM would control everything.

He said that the MQM does not want a “certificate” of being a Sindhi from anyone.

Sattar said that Sindh had played a vital role in the creation of Pakistan. “Had Pakistan Resolution not been passed from the Sindh Assembly, Pakistan would not have been created. Pakistan has survived on the basis of the resolution passed by the Sindh Assembly and the sacrifices made by the people of Sindh.”

He said that Pakistan can only prosper if Sindh prospers. “Sindh is the engine of Pakistan’s success.”

“Altaf Hussain does what he says,” he said. “We changed the map of Karachi with the little authority we were given. We changed the map of Hyderabad too. If we are given a chance to improve the condition of Sindh, we will change the map of Sindh.”

He said, “MQM has knocked out the whole team of feudals and the so-called nationalists with a single ball.”

“MQM is the last train for the prosperity of Sindh, if you miss this train, there will be no train coming after,” Sattar said.
