THIS refers to the letter ‘In Karachi and in Sindh’ by Abdul Samad Samo’s (Feb 1). For the writer’s information, the term has also crept into Sindh government offices.

While going to Mianwali from Lahore, nobody says that he is going to Punjab or while going to Bannu from Peshawar, nobody says that he is going to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa or while going from Quetta to Mastung, nobody says that he is going to Balochistan. Then why this term for Sindh while taking in Karachi?

I hope that the readers would agree with me.
