| G.M Sayed |
Actually, G.M Sayed was deliberately
avoided discriminately, but it is now time to understand the political thoughts
and ideals of Sayed to look into the history, how provinces especially Sindh
(the founding province of Pakistan) deprived of rights and the movement was
begun to fight for the rights and “Jeay Sindh” (long live Sindh) was echoed.
All international charters give
right to fight for the right thing but here the scene is upside down in
Pakistan, when Sindhi person wants his right, he is subdued and repressed,
while others who had graffiti on the walls to break Sindh (to break Sindh,
meant to break Pakistan) are welcomed by media and other parties support that
futile voice.
Sindh is actually victimized and
suppressed, G.M Sayed felt this highhandedness in the early years after
Pakistan came into being; he raised voice for the rights. Today is the birth
day of the great leader of Sindhi nation; we remember this leader with love and
adoration
