NAWABSHAH, March 29: The Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz Chairman Bashir Khan Qureshi said on Thursday that the establishment was under a planned conspiracy converting Sindhis into a minority by settling people of other provinces in Sindh.

Mr Qureshi said addressing a crowd in New Saeedabad town of Matiari district who had gathered to welcome Paigham-i-Sindh caravan when it entered their town. Mr Qureshi, Dr Niaz Kalani, Sarfaraz Memon, Sajan Sindhi and Sagar Hanif Burdi led the caravan.

Mr Qureshi said that Sindhis had awakened and would struggle for the rights of their land. Sindh was being deprived of its rights and people of other provinces were controlling its natural resources, he said.

He said that Sindh, a fertile land, had turned barren because Punjab was not releasing its due share of water.

He said that Sindhis would not allow its construction of any water reservoir on the River Indus and they would foil all the anti-Sindh projects.

He said that the government agencies had picked up dozens of nationalist workers and subjected them to brutal torture. He expressed the fear that the agencies might get the missing workers killed.
