SEMINAR: Sindh had played a key role in the birth of Pakistan and Sindhis had been in the forefront of struggle right from leaders to the workers. The speakers at one day seminar held here on Sunday to mark Quaid-I-Azam year under the auspice of Larkanao Historical Society (LHS) dealt with the vision, wisdom, commitment and conviction of the founder of Pakistan towards the creation of Pakistan. Renowned scholar Dr Nabi Bakhsh Baluch former vice chancellor of University of Sindh chaired the seminar.

Dr Dur Muhammed Pathan tracing the history said he was Sir Agha Khan from Sindh who led the delegation to Simla in 1905, in 1906 Muslim League was found in Sindh and in 1857 people revolted against English rulers for which Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Sukkur and Mirpurkhas are the witness to the account. Quaid-I- Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah was born in Sindh and he was Sindhi, said Dr Pathan adding that had there been neither Sindh nor Sindhi there would have been no Pakistan. He said it was Sindh Assembly that in 1943 through resolution demanded for Pakistan and a resolution passed in 1938 by Shaikh Abdul Majid Sindhi in Karachi had later been renamed as Pakistan Resolution of 1940. This all speaks of the vital contribution of Sindh and Sindhis towards Pakistan. He said Sindhis should call Quaid-I-Azam their leader.
