KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution against comments made by PTI chairman, Imran Khan allegedly terming Sindhi people as 'slaves'.

Senior Sindh Minister, Nisar Ahmed Khuhro tabled the resolution on Imran Khan's alleged derogatory remark about the people of Sindh and asked him to withdraw his remark.

He said the people of Sindh are not only politically conscious and alive to the situation around them but also hold all capacities to make decisions without any fear or compulsion.

“Yes! they can and they do take decisions, in accordance to their needs and requirements,” said Khuhro.

The PTI chief was also reminded that members of the Sindh Assembly of undivided India, were the first to unanimously supported the demand for a separate Muslim state in the subcontinent.

The House also demanded an apology from Imran Khan for his alleged comments.

A large number of MPAs, including those from Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), took strong exception to the remark and supported the resolution.

MQM's Faisal Sabzwari said people in general and politicians in particular need to be extremely cautious about sensitivities involved in discussing people and groups.

“It may not be his intention yet the remark holds connotations that hurt the people,” said Sabzwari.
