HYDERABAD, April 3: The Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) Chairman Bashir Khan Qureshi said on Tuesday that Punjab was looting the resources of Sindh and outsiders were ruling the province “but we won't accept it anymore.”

Mr Qureshi said in addresses to gatherings at Khatthar and Seri where Paigham-i-Sindh caravan made brief stops en route to Tando Mohammad Khan that an independent Sindh was solution all the ills.

The caravan stayed the Monday night in Adan Noonari village near Zeal Pak cement factory and resumed its journey on foot towards Tando Mohammad Khan the following day.

He said that Punjab had occupied all the resources of Sindh and the agencies had picked up nationalist workers including JSQM's central secretary general Dr. Safdar Sarki.

He said that it was the height of injustice that even the families of detainees were not being informed about the whereabouts of their dear ones. “No one knows whether they are, whether alive or dead," he said.

He said that Bashir Shah and Asif Baladi met the same fate. They, too, were picked up by agencies, which did not bother to produce them in any court of law to face charges if any, he said.

Mr Qureshi demanded release of the missing people and said that Sindhis would no more accept slavery. "We want to tell the world that people of Sindh are being enslaved in the name of Pakistan and Islam," he said.

He urged Urdu speaking people to openly join his ranks on the roads and take part in the caravan because, he said, their destiny too was linked with Sindh.
