New Delhi: Protesters in Pakistan’s restive Sindh province displayed posters of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his Bangladesh counterpart Hasina Wajed, US President-elect Joe Biden, and Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin-Salman, and other world leaders, on Sunday, demanding freedom of Sindh from Pakistan and the creation of a separate Sindhudesh.

The protesters organized a rally to mark the 117th birth anniversary of Ghulam Murtaza Syed, founder of Jeay Sindh Movement. Syed was a prominent Sindhi politician known for his scholarly work.

The Sindhi people have long been expecting help from the world leaders and have repeatedly urged them to look into this matter.

Historians said the British-Indian government had illegally ruled over the Sindh province and had, in 1947, illegally handed over the province to Pakistan.

Many Sindh nationalist political parties, demanding Sindh’s freedom from Pakistan, have raised the issue many times at international levels and appealed to world leaders to intervene. Sindhi social workers and activists have consistently accused the Pakistan Army with violation of human rights.

The demand for a separate Sindhudesh as a separate homeland for the demand for a separate homeland the Sindhis began in 1967 under the leadership of GM Syed and Pir Ali Mohammad Rushdie.

Pakistan’s Baluchistan province is also demanding freedom from Pakistan.  Many Baluchis have sacrificed their lives for this cause.

Recently, Baloch activist Karima Baloch, a Pakistani refugee in Canada since 2016, was found dead in Canada under suspicious circumstances. In 2016, she had recorded a Raksha Bandhan message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking support for their struggle for independence from Pakistan.
