109th birth Anniversary of G.M Sayed

G.M Sayed
Today is the birth day of veteran political figure from Sindh, who made it possible to pass the bill to make Pakistan as a separate Muslim State in 1947. Simply, it is fact he was one of the founding heroes, who made it sure to let Pakistan come into existence but ironical it is, he was kept arrested half of his age in jail and home and rumours were made that is so and so, but we are seeing so many persons have talked and they have analyzed the Pakistan will be broken into pieces, if the rights are not rendered to the provinces as it was pledged.

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
