HYDERABAD, Jan 19: Chairman of Sindh National Front (SNF) Sardar Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, has said that Sindh is facing innumerable problems and warned the Sindhis that if they fail to unite on a single platform, they will have to live as slaves.

He said due to arbitrary and unilateral decisions of the federal government, Sindh was in the grip of hunger, poverty and unemployment.

Mr Bhutto was talking to newsmen after offering condolences to senior PPP leader Haji Siddique Shoro in Kotri on the death of his son, former MPA Ghulam Nabi Pireen, in Kotri.

He also offered condolences on the death of SNF workers to the bereaved families at different places.

He is also reported to have met with Pir Zaman Shah, special assistant to the Sindh chief minister, in Kotri and Malik Change Khan, PML leader of Thana Bula Khan, and tried to persuade them to join the “Sindhi Jago, Sindh Bachayo” movement.

Mr Mumtaz Bhutto said that conspiracies were being hatched to convert the Sindhi nation into a minority and added that Sindhi villages were being demolished in Karachi and other places, which could not be condoned.

He said the Sindhi people would now have to perform their due role in protecting the interests of Sindh and added that history never forgive traitors.
