HYDERABAD, Feb 15: Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) Chairman Basheer Khan Qureshi has appealed to the world powers to help Sindhi nation in creating an independent “Sindhu Desh” as the problems of fundamentalism and cultural differences could only be resolved through the “Paigham-i-Sindh”.

Flanked by party leaders, Akash Mallah, Sagar Hanif Burdi, Fatah Mahessar, Aziz Phul and others, he was addressing a news conference at the press club here on Friday. He said Sindh was passing through a critical period as a war was going on between liberal, secular and peace loving nations on the one side and fundamentalist and religious extremist on the other side.

He said harmony among religions and cultures is the cornerstone of “Paigham-i-Sindh” as propounded by Shah Latif, Sachal Sami and other saints.

He said the country has become a centre of fundamentalism and religious extremism which patronised the ‘clergy’ and retrogressive forces.

He said the prevailing state of affairs has endangered the world peace. He said the solution to fundamentalism and cultural differences lay in Paigham-e-Sindh.JSQM chairman said that economic exploitation of Sindh has continued unabated for 60 years which can be gauged from the fact that Sindh provide 70 per cent of revenue to the federation but receive only 24 per cent in return.
