HYDERABAD (Sind): Crucial problems effe­c­ting Pakistan in general and Sind in particular and the right way to face and overcome these difficulties were touched upon by Mr Lia­quat Ali Khan, Prime Minister of Pakis­tan, who is visiting Hyderabad, second city of Sind — situated on the banks of the River Indus. … The Prime Minister paid tribute to Hyde­rabad for being the first city in Sind to welcome the refugees and to help in rehabilitating them. He urged the abolition of all distinctions between Sindhis and the Muhaji­reen and said that Pakistan was meant to be the home of all Muslims of the sub-continent… .

[Meanwhile, it was also reported that] Six more allegations bringing the total number to 62 have been listed against the ex-premier of Sind, Mr. M.A. Khuhro, by the special counsel to the Sind special court of inquiry, Mr Parmanand Kundanlal.

…The fresh particulars submitted on Monday [June 7] allege that the ex-Premier misused the Sind Essential Commodities (Restriction on Export) Act, 1947 … and consequently, crippled the trade and business in Sind by controlling it to his own advantage.
