My duly respected elders, mothers, sisters,

daughters, brothers and sons of Sindh Dharti

 

Assalam-o-alaikum

 

First of all, from myself, the workers of my organisation and my people, I would like to present my heartiest felicitations on the birthday of the Great Leader of Sindh Sain G M Syed.

 

It is a historical fact that Sain G M Syed was the person who presented the Resolution in favour of the creation of Pakistan in the Sindh Assembly.  However, after the creation of Pakistan, after witnessing the act of injustices and exploitation against Sindh, he, being the son of Sindh Dharti (Land), raised his voice for the rights of Sindh Province.  The Punjabi Establishment, which was exploiting Sindh, declared Sain G M Syed as “anti-State” and “traitor” for raising his voice for the rights of Sindh Province.  Sain G M Syed was truly loyal to Sindh Dharti.  He never cared for the cases of anti-State and treachery registered against him and continued to raise his voice for the rights of Sindh Province.  He was a man of principles.  He spent his entire life struggling to free Sindh Dharti from the oppressive occupation of the Punjabi Establishment and never traded his ideologies and principles.

 

History is witness that whosoever raised his voice for the rights of deprived and oppressed people, took stand against the oppression and raised the flag of righteousness, has never been remembered in good names by the oppressive rulers and the exploitative Establishment of the time.  He has always been accused and ridiculed by labelling as “anti-State”.  However, those who are considered as “traitors”, “anti-State” and “terrorists” in the eyes of the rulers, are in fact, the true friends, considerate and healers for the deprived and oppressed people.  Those who are despised by the by the oppressive rulers, live as the heartbeat of the deprived and oppressed people.  Sain G M Syed was also one of those great persons.  He was also declared as “traitor” and “anti-State” by the oppressive rulers and the Punjabi Establishment, however, he is hugely respected even in the eyes of each and every child of the Sindh Province.  Even today, he lives in the heart of the people of Sindh and no one can put an end to this everlasting relation based on adoration and respect.

 

In the past, the Punjabi Establishment employed the policy of “divide and rule”.  Under this policy they created differences, rifts and even orchestrated riots between the Urdu Speaking Sindhis and the Sindhi Speaking Sindhis.  This was done with a view to confront the permanent settlers of Sindh against each other so that the Punjabi Establishment could continue its hegemonic rule over the Sindh Dharti and continue to exploit the resources of Sindh Dharti.  As a result of such conspiracies, today Sindh has become the colony of the Punjabi Establishment.

 

My duly respected elders, mothers, sisters,

daughters, brothers and sons of Sindh Dharti

 

Our Sindh Dharti is crying for us.  She is crying for her sons, to come forward and liberate her from the slavery of the Punjabi Establishment.  To rid her from oppression and exploitation of the Punjabi Establishment.  Free her from the clutches of the blood-sucking exploitative Punjabi Establishment.  She is calling, “come … come forward.”

 

It is the need of the time that the Sindhi Speaking Sindhis and the Urdu Speaking Sindhis should join hands and become a united force.  And jointly struggle for the rights of the Sindh Province to liberate Sindh, our Motherland, from the slavery of the Punjabi Establishment.

 

My duly respected elders, mothers, sisters,

daughters, brothers and sons of Sindh Dharti

 

Whatever abilities and capabilities the Allah Almighty has bestowed upon me, I am once again presenting them unconditionally for the rights of the Sindh Dharti.  I am the son of Sindh Dharti.  Please have confidence in me.  Today, in front of the Mausoleum of Hazrat Shah Makhdoom BilawalRH, I assure you I could sacrifice my life but will never trade the rights of Sindh Dharti.

 

Come … we pledge on this occasion of the birthday of Sain G M Syed that we would continue to struggle till our last breath to liberate our Sindh Dharti from the oppressive and exploitative occupation of the Punjabi Establishment.  Moreover, we would not hesitate to offer any sacrifice in the path of the achievement of our “Great Cause”.

Your brother and the son of Sindh, our Motherland.
