NAUSHAHRO FEROZE, May 4: Convener of the Jeay Sindh Mahaz, Abdul Khaliq Junejo, has said that the political contract which was the basis of creation of Pakistan was never honoured and the people who created Pakistan were living like slaves.

He was speaking at a seminar on “Right of Self-Determination and Sindh” at the Moro press club on Sunday.

He said that the Sindhis had been deprived of their rights during the past six decades to the extent that they should now be asked through a referendum if they still adhered to that contract.

He said that in the recent elections the PML-N achieved success in Punjab because of its pledge to reinstate the deposed judges and it was respecting the mandate and struggling for restoration of the judges.

In Sindh, he said, the people voted in favour of the PPP in the hope that the issues of Kalabagh dam, Thal canal, NFC award would be resolved.

But, he said, the PPP had disappointed the Sindhis and violated the mandate by cooperating with Pervez Musharraf and his allies.

Chairman of the Sindh Sagar Party Azizullah Bohio said that independence was incomplete because the nations constituting Pakistan did not get their rights.

General secretary of the Sindh chapter of Labour Party Comrade Younis Rahu said that the communists must support the struggle of oppressed nations the for right of self-determination.

JSM’s general secretary Hashim Khoso, Ahmed Khan Chandio, Masroor Chandio, Faqir Ahmed Behan, Makhdoom Izhar and others also spoke.
