We, the undersigned Sindh Diaspora Organizations , Sindh
Nationalist Parties and Sindh Civil Society Organizations unequivolcally and
resoundingly reject the Bill passed by the Sindh Assembly, to give a
legal facade to the SPLGO 2012.
It may be remembered that this same forum had twice rejected
this and a previous ordinance emanating from the Governor House, which had the
same purpose: Administrative,
Fiscal and eventual Poliitical Division of Sindh.
This forum view these repeated onslaughts on the fundamental
rights of the Sindhi nation on their own land as an act of aggression against
humanity.
The Sindhi Nation is not only cognizant of the contents and
intentions of this so called "Bill", but has resolved to
struggle for its reversal.
The obscure and back room circumstances and haste sorrounding
the promulgation of first, the SPLGO and second its passage into
"law" by the Sindh Assembly on 1st October 2012, further and finally
confirmed to the Sindhi Nation that the intentions of the current partners in
the ruling Sindh Government, the PPPP and MQM, are malafide. This coalition
stands rejected by the Sindhi nation, and has lost their confidence.
The SPLGO has been designed to further disempower and
disenfranchise the Sindhi nation in their own historic homeland.
It is aimed to divide sindh administratively with a view to its
eventual political division in the future.
Further, the SPLGO priviliges urban areas dominated and
controlled by the MQM and expands their writ into adjoining areas where their
vote base is non existent. The SPLGO has given the MQM a license to eradicate
or render marginal, the vast Sindhi speaking population that lives
in Sindhs urban areas particularly in and around Karachi and its historical
districts and coastal areas. The cooperation and compliance of PPPP
leaders in delivering to the demands of the MQM, shows that the PPPP is not in
a position to safeguard the interests of Sindh.
Sindh's entire civil society, Nationalist Political Parties and
Sindhi Diaspora Organizations stand united in their opposition to the SPLG
Bill.
The SPLG Bill stands rejected.
