LARKANA, Feb 13: Sindh National Front chairman Mumtaz Ali Bhutto has alleged that aliens coming from India by Thar Express are being settled in Sindh.

Speaking at a public meeting in Shaikh Zayed Colony on Tuesday as a part of ‘Sindhi Jago, Sindh Bachayo’ campaign, he said that the outsiders were not only being provided citizenship but also settled after uprooting and demolishing Sindhis localities and dispossessing them from their ancestral lands.

Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas were already occupied by the aliens and now, on an average, 550 outlanders from India reached Sindh and were settled there on permanent basis almost every month, he added.

He said that thousands of acres of coastal area and Sindh’s islands were handed over to the outsiders but now land in Sukkur was being dished out to outsiders.

It was a well-considered conspiracy which aimed at snatching the land from the Sindhis and converting them into minority on their own soil, he added.

“Our object, under the prevailing conditions, is to unite Sindhis at one platform and launching a campaign to protect and safeguard our rights along with saving our soil,” Mr Bhutto said.

He alleged that the ‘enemies’ were ruling Sindh and they had gifted it with a deteriorated law and order situation, an upward graph of unemployment, poverty and jacked-up prices.

The major political parties, banking on Sindhi votes, which had reached the parliament with the help of anti-Sindhi people, were anxiously waiting to reach power corridors, the SNF chief said.

Least concerned with the ‘Save Sindh campaign’, these parliamentarians were interested only in seeking power, he added.

Mr Bhutto also held meetings with leftist thinker Comrade Sobho Gianchandani, Nawab Qalb-i-Hussain Lahori, the leaders of Hindu Panchayat, Jawed Khuhro and Dr Hakim Kamario in connection with the campaign.

He also met former divisional education officer (technical) Mohammad Hassan Bhutto who joined the SNF with his friends and relatives.
