HYDERABAD, Nov 24: Awami Tehrik Chief Rasool Bux Palijo has condemned large-scale transfers of Sindhi officers from Karachi and Hyderabad and termed it a conspiracy against Sindh.

In a statement issued here on Wednesday, he said the reshuffle was aimed at ousting Sindhis from all walks of life.

Mr Palijo termed the transfers of Sindhi officers and non-enforcement of the language act a flagrant violation of the Constitution of Pakistan.

He said the Mirs, Pirs and Sardars of Sindh had always been a privy to conspiracies against Sindh in order to protect their petty interests.

He said that steps being taken against the Sindhi language were aimed at destroying the 5000-year-old culture of Sindh.

He urged people to unite against the elements which were working against the interests of people.
