HYDERABAD, Nov 27: The supremacy of the parliament should be restored and all nationalities should be bestowed rights in accordance with the 1940 resolution.
This was stated by the chairman of the Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party, Dr Qadir Magsi, while speaking at an Iftar party at the Shah Latif Park on Tuesday.
He said that justice and a true democratic system would remain just a dream unless these measures were taken.
He said that the so-called elected government was a continuation of the dictatorship and the system had not changed, only faces have changed.
This Iftar party was arranged by the Marvi Town Welfare Association.
He said that the oppressed nations should have no delusions about the new government as it would not support the nationalist parties.
Dr Magsi, who is also the president of the PONAM’s Sindh chapter, said that his party had reservations about the elections, which had proven to be 100 per cent correct.
He said that the parliament had been rendered powerless, and the establishment had ensured the success of the king’s party to continue its policies.
Terming the present government a product of horse trading, he questioned the integrity of such a government, which had sold its conscience, to ameliorate the sufferings of the people.
Describing the establishment as the mother of all evils, he stressed on the need to eliminate its role in the national politics.
He said his party was determined to restore the sovereignty of the Sindhi people over Sindh, ensure that all natural resources of the province were spent on Sindh and that 3.5 million outsiders, including Afghan refugees, were expelled from the province.
He said these objectives could only be achieved if all the people of Sindh joined the struggle.
