NAUSHAHRO FEROZE, Dec 10: Jeay Sindh Tehreek chairman Dr Safdar Sarki has said the prevailing system offers no hope to the oppressed people and the Baloch would not have climbed to the mountains if they had not been utterly disappointed in it.

Dr Sarki was speaking at a large rally which made a brief stopover here on Monday en route to Karachi.

It is scheduled to reach the provincial capital on Dec 30.

He said that Sindh generated 70 per cent revenue for the country but still more than 80 per cent of Sindhis were living in abject poverty. Sindhis must say no to working like slaves under the present system and join the struggle for the independence of Sindh, he said.

He criticised the Sindh People’s Local Government Act and said the rulers were conspiring to divide Sindh for their own interests but people had outright rejected the division. There was no hope in the system, if it had any the Baloch might not have climbed to mountains to fight the state, he said. He said the people of Sindh would have to reject the parliamentary system once and for all and join the JST to seek independence. Only G.M. Syed’s ideology could lead Sindhis to true independence, he said.

G.M. Syed had waged a long struggle for the liberty of his land and faced trials and tribulations but refused to bow and, as a result, the struggle continued to this day, he said.

Millions of Sindhis would show their unity for an independent Sindh in Karachi on Dec 30, he said.

Earlier, when the rally passed through Darbelo town, PPP MNA Syed Zafar Ali Shah joined it and kept walking with the participants for almost two kilometres.
