| Charter of Demands of Sindhi People
Preamble:
The right to constitute the State like Pakistan was granted by the British rulers to Muslim majority provinces after a protracted political and constitutional struggle. The Province of Sindh, the initiator of the final process of the latest formulation of the partition proposal on behalf of the Muslims of India, the first province to pass through its provincial assembly the resolution in favour of the Pakistan resolution 1940, was the main pillar of the five foundation pillars of the state of Pakistan. Before British rule, Sindh was an independent state. As such on the eve of the creation of Pakistan, Sindh sacrificed its historical status of being an independent state in view of certain concrete guarantees given by the then Muslim League leadership. The people of Sindh believed that the question of political autonomy and sovereignty of their homeland was fully settled by means of political negotiations, discussions and formulations by the founding fathers of the country, led by Qauid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The ultimate and concrete guarantee of this autonomy was drawn from a moral anchor of 1940 Resolution, which lay the foundations of union between the founding states. It was implicit that the Pakistan resolution of 1940 will remain un-tampered and will form a single covenant between the member sates to draw historic legitimacy of the union. It is worth mentioning that there was no legal or constitutional obligation for any member state to form the union under Pakistan. It was a simple matter of choice and discretion and a voluntary act on behalf of Sindh to enter this union. Sindh reserves the right to revisit its historic decision in the light of the way it has been treated within the union.
Establishing the legitimate basis for creation of Pakistan, the Pakistan Resolution of 1940 says:-
"Resolved that it is the considered view of this session of the All India Muslim League that no Constitutional plan would be workable in this country or acceptable to the Muslims unless it is designed on the following basic principles via that geographically contiguous units are demarcated into
regions which should be so constituted with such territorial re-adjustments as may be necessary that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India, should be grouped to constitute Independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign." Here the constituent units mean the provinces, including Sindh that opted to join Pakistan.
Before the elections of December 1946, in which the fate of Pakistan was to be decided, All India Muslim league issued a Declaration in Sindhi language pledging to the Sindhi Muslims that,
"If you want:
- To rid yourself from the bureaucracy
- Protection of your rights
- Security of your culture and civilization
- Water for irrigating your lands
- Better roads and cheap transport
- Industries
- Services in all departments
- Free education for your children
- Landless peasants to get lands
- Free medicines and health facilities in your villages
- To be happy and prosperous in all respects and free from slavery
But immediately after the creation of Pakistan, rather than make the lives of Sindhi people better than before, all promises made by the All India Muslim League and leaders of Pakistan Movement were thrown over board and Sindh was subjected to a series of unjust, hostile and anti-Sindhi steps that opened the flood gates of exploitation of the Sindhi people and turned Sindh virtually into a colony.
Thus idea of Pakistan became a true promise land for the people of Sindh, which never became a reality. Immediately after creation of Pakistan, a concept that promised a perfect union became a tool for a perfect division. The promise land was to be no more. The true leaders of All India Muslim League and the Pakistan Movement were plugged away one by one. Yesterday's dream was being transformed into a nightmare for people of small provinces and those of East Pakistan.
All laws of the new State of Pakistan were crafted to create a new class of powerful and privileged group of people and to establish a colony within a new multinational State. As a result Sindh and other small provinces were systematically thrown into an economic, political and cultural abyss.
Knowing that nations can not create their economic and professional middle class over night, Hindu-Muslim riots were engineered forcing the large and vibrant Hindu middle Class of Sindh to migrate to India. In order to fill this vacuum exclusively, a set of colonial laws was made to create concentrated clusters of settlements in hand picked cities of Sindh. These laws have not only victimized native Sindhi people but did horrendous disservice to immigrants from India.
Massive immigration in cities created segregation in Sindh which left no economic need or civic motivation for new Sindhis to adopt to the culture of their native hosts. Thus a divide was created, which has arrested the path of brotherhood and collective prosperity within Sindh.
Here are some of the examples of lawlessness, which are only found in occupation and colonization manuals.
1. Black confiscatory laws were imposed for looting the lands and properties of Sindhi people and a reign of administrative terror was let loose for implementing them. On the one hand, all businesses and properties of the prosperous Hindus were arbitrarily allotted to the immigrants who did not have to provide any proof of ownership of property of equal value in India. Only an affidavit and two witnesses were required to validate the claim. Lacs of acres of land and other properties of Sindhi Muslims who were under some debt to a Hindu were illegally treated as Hindu evacuee properties and distributed among immigrants in flagrant violation of the laws of the land viz Registration Act and Transfer of Property Act. Lacs (hundreds of thousands) of Sindhi Muslim haris who had been cultivating these millions of acres of confiscated and illegally doled out so-called evacuee lands since generations as their sole source of livelihood, were dispossessed and thrown out of these lands under the cover of the black evacuee laws. No native Sindhi was allowed to keep any property even if legally purchased and owned before the partition.
2. Karachi, the vibrant capital of Sindh, which earned Rs. One Billion (Approximately Rs.1000 Billon today) in taxes was taken over as Federal Territory with a promise to pay compensation that was never paid.
3. Sindhi language was forcibly driven out of Karachi, delivering a near death blow to Sindhi language and culture assimilation between immigrant and native population of Sindh.
4. The plunder of Sindh's share of the waters of Indus and its tributaries which started in 1859, when the first canal was constructed by united province of Punjab without the consent of the second partner and the lower riparian Sindh, was continued and accelerated vigorously after the establishment of Pakistan and is continuing up-to this day with the full participation of the federal government as an accomplice and patron of the Punjab authorities.
Some of the more blatant anti-Sindh criminal acts in this regard have been as under:-
a) The lower riparian status of Sindh in the waters of Indus and its distributaries was disregarded for the first time, at the time of establishment of Pakistan and Sindh was excluded from the Indo-Pak water distribution talks in 1948 and the Pakistani waters were treated as the sole property of the authorities of united Punjab to be distributed between West and East Punjab at the time of partition as their ancestral family property.
(b) By a secret agreement at Jallandher both the sides decided to set-a-foot a world-class conspiracy to defraud Sindh of its share of the common waters. The matter was quietly withdrawn from the competent Arbitral Tribunal, flow of water to Pakistan was stopped by prior arrangement, hue and cry was raised, a false Indo-Pak crisis and a farce of Indo-Pak talks for its resolution were created whereby both sides viz West and East Punjab misappropriated the bulk of water from the common rivers at the cost of Sindh. The plunder goes on unabated.
(c) Three Pakistani rivers Ravi, Bias and Sutlaj whose waters were the common property of Punjab and Sindh and others as upper and lower riparians, were illegally and secretly sold to India for pea-nuts as a part of the secret Jallandher agreement.
(d) Indo-Pak negotiations for settling the artificially created dispute was illegally held behind the back of the lower riparian No.3, Sindh and others.
(e) An illegal malafide and immoral plan was prepared and illegally and immorally approved by the federal government whereby, by false and bogus figures, the loss of water suffered by West Punjab due to its own authorities' illegal, unilateral and conspiratorial sale of the three common Pakistani rivers to India, was inflated and that by Sindh was reduced, thus illegally and wrongfully allotting Punjab almost double the quantum it deserved to be allotted and Sindh almost none.
(f) Billions of dollars were obtained from India, World Bank and other western countries on the account of whole of Pakistan for the construction of works for the replacement of the above mentioned self-created losses and further development of the whole of West Pakistan but not a penny of it was spent on any other province / region of Pakistan except Punjab and not a single work or project of any kind was constructed or commenced in any province / region other than Punjab though every penny of the loan was to be paid by all the provinces / regions of Pakistan including East Pakistan and not by Punjab alone.
(g) Mangla dam was constructed for replacing the illegally and secretly sold out 3 rivers. But subsequently it was misappropriated by the Punjab authorities for cultivating its new lands.
(h) Instead of constructing Rohtas dam on Chenab as suggested by World Bank the federal and Punjab governments forcibly constructed Tarbela Dam on Indus along with Chashma-Jehlum and Taunsa-Panjnad Link Canals for looting the water of Indus.
(i) Having promised that these Link Canals would be used only for taking surplus flood waters from the Indus for Punjab, after fully satisfying the needs of Sindh, the federal and Punjab governments broke that agreement and are forcibly plundering the waters of the Indus through these link canals and thereby causing drought and water famine in Sindh and ruining its economy.
(j) Instead of resolving the Sindh-Punjab water-dispute through neutral judges of international repute as demanded by the circumstances of the more than a century-old dispute, the federal government in 1992, set up a bogus Sindh government composed of a known stooge of the agencies and imposed a
so-called accord on Sindh, allotting even more water to Punjab than it was already plundering. But subsequently the present rulers violated even that unjust so-called accord and stopped supply of water to lower Sindh and turned it into a semi-desert.
5. Large chunks of lands were allotted in 1952 to civil and military bureaucrats in the prime agricultural area of the newly built Kotri Barrage.
6. Through deceit and coercion, Sindh was made a part of single province, West Pakistan, effectively making Sindh an outpost of Lahore resulting into usurpation of Sindh's share of water by Punjab.
7. Popularly elected governments systematically overthrown with the help of religious extremists and henchmen of the establishment engaged in acts of urban terrorism. These policies paved the way for a rule by minority and anti-people pseudo-political groups in provincial and central governments.
8. It is wrong to say that Sindhi people side with decadent feudal class. Every time people of Sindh have been given a genuine choice they have voted against feudal lords and jagirdars and have sent members of middle class to assemblies. It is the military-bureaucracy that finds it convenient to deal with this opportunist class and installs them in power. People of Sindh are way too smart not to understand how colonial powers work. The mind of occupier works the same way without learning the lessons from history. Why to deal with millions of people when a colonial power can reinforce power of a few crooks and turncoats as decorated leaders of occupied nation. IT IS IN THE UTMOST NATIONAL INTEREST OF SINDHI PEOPLE TO HAVE TRUE DEMOCRACY AND NOT A DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITY IN PAKISTAN. HAVING NO SIGNIFICANT REPRESENTATION IN ARMED FORCES, BUREAUCRACY, BUSINESS AND MEDIA, TRUE DEMOCRACY AND GOVERNMENT OF GENUINE REPRESENTATIVES IS THE ONLY LEVERAGE AVAILABLE TO SINDH TO WIN HER DUE PLACE IN THE UNION.
9. Given a chance, people of Sindh would love to disarm these feudal lords of their political power.
10. While most hypocritically drum-beating about the liberalism, moderation and progressivism of their rule, the current rulers are frantically turning the wheal of history in Sindh 180 degree backwards and pushing Sindh back to the centuries-old medieval and tribal era and denigrating and practically replacing post-British judicial system with the ancient tribal judicial system of trial by tribal jirgas and evidence by oaths on burning coals in Upper-Sindh in order to keep Sindhi people under a kind of subjugation reminiscent of the darkest centuries of human history. Generals and Colonels have overnight become the biggest owners of businesses, lands and public posts. Thousand of outsider rangers have been imposed on Sindh who suck away a substantial portion of the meager development budget of Sindh under the pretense of putting down the artificially created and imposed daily lawlessness and blood-shed. To ensure dumb obedience of the common man, the military establishment have enlisted, trained and let loose upon the peaceful people hordes of urban terrorists, dacoits, woman-killers and abductors engineering through them a reign of terror over the masses.
11. Massive illegal immigration across the border and from distant lands and other provinces of Pakistan has exerted a fatal stress on the resources of Sindh. Even the post partition immigrants have become increasingly weary about a continuous pouring of foreigners thus depriving them of the fruits of their hard labor. Big cities, especially Karachi have become a swamp and ticking bomb of population explosion. Having no loyalty to the city or the province, newly arrived illegal immigrants have become a serious threat to economic, political, and cultural security of Sindh and Pakistan.
12. The partition plan of the sub-continent did not envisage any considerable transfer of populations between India and Pakistan. All the residents living in the territories forming part of the two new dominions were expected to continue living where they were at the time of partition, as peaceful and loyal citizens of their respective new countries. But Sindh was from the very beginning targeted by traditional conquest-minded circles as a land to be conquered through demographic invasion and grabbed through administrative lawlessness and subjugation. Present government has opened the floodgates of immigrants, which is a planned ethnic cleansing of native Sindhis. Re-engineering of demographics is not a new phenomenon. This process has always been popular with occupiers and colonizers who want to create an imported constituency as a tool for dispossessing the centuries-old masters and occupiers of the occupied lands.
Since then:
- Sindh's share of water has been doled out to Punjab.
- An ethno-linguistic terrorist and fascist organization has been handed over, the Government of Sindh against all norms of democracy and decency and this terrorist organization is using its place of privilege to constantly conspire to divide Sindh on ethnic lines.
- Feudal and jagirdars who have been discarded by Sindhi people, time and again, when ever given a fair chance, have been forcibly re-imposed on Sindhi society by encouraging tribal jirga system and by giving them control of whole districts as petty war-lords above the law and the Constitution.
- The beleaguered Sindhi society has been crippled and paralyzed strategically by rampant dacoities and abductions for ransom and the abhorrent custom of Karo Kari (honour killing).
- Large number of illegal immigrants from across the borders and from other provinces have been systematically and strategically allowed to enter and to settle in Sindh, taking, on one hand the scarce resources and job opportunities away from the local people, and swelling the number of non-resident Sindhi resident of Sindh, on the other hand, which posses serious threat to the integrity of Sindh and demographic stability of Sindhi people.
- Sindhis did not join Pakistan to be subjected to non-stop conspiracies to divide their 5000 years old historic homeland or become hostage to hordes of illegal aliens bent upon converting them into a minority and to be killed on streets of their cities and stand deprived of their language and economic resources and be forced to live in perpetual backwardness and miserable poverty.
Therefore we the patriotic people of Sindh DEMAND in the name of Sindh and its people, and in the name of democracy and fundamental human rights, that:
1. Permanent Interests of Sindh
1.1 It should be recognized that Sindh is the homeland of Sindhi people for more than the past 5000 years and shall remain so till eternity. Sindhi people shall not countenance any plan or conspiracy to divide, or to break, their homeland, under the garb of administrative, geo-strategic or any other reason. All attempts to divide Sindh, under any garb, should be made an offence against the state.
1.2 Sindhi people are the inheritors of their homeland, Sindh. It is their inalienable right to remain a stable majority in their homeland, and by the rule of internationally recognized principles of democracy, no cultural minority can be countenanced to aspire to become a majority. The three and a half crore (35 million) People of Sindh demand that the Government of Pakistan should pass such legislation as to assure stable majority of Sindhis and their right to rule over their homeland, forever.
1.3 In the spirit of 1940 covenant, the State of Pakistan must become the guarantor and shall mitigate the grievances instead of party to a process that is designed to dilute Sindh's sovereignty and right to self-governance.
1.4 State of Pakistan must stop and reverse all acts of ethnic cleansing and demographic re-engineering of Sindh, which is designed to convert native population into a minority through massive importation of immigrants from all over the world. Pakistani immigration department should be overhauled to clean it from corrupt and foreign-born officers, which have no allegiance with Sindh or Pakistan. Unchecked immigration is a clear and present threat to the national security.
1.5 The sales, toll, and excise taxes are the provincial revenues. These taxes should be collected and allocated by the province of Sindh and center shall not have any right or claim to it.
1.6 The natural resources obtained in Sindh right fully belong to Sindhi people and should be utilized for the benefit and betterment of the indigenous people of Sindh only. Sindhi people demand that such legislation be passed that ensures the benefits of employment and of the wealth of Sindh's natural resources, including gas, coal and petrol to accrue mainly to the indigenous people of Sindh only.
1.7 Sindh is the lower riparian of river Indus and all its tributaries. The constitution of Pakistan and international law confers inalienable rights to the lower riparian. It is the demand of the people of Sindh that no further cut should be made to divert, and no dam be built to store, waters of river
Indus and its tributaries without the concurrence of Sindhi people. Construction of illegal Greater Thal Canal should be stopped immediately, all mega projects of big dams including Kalabagh Dam should be shelved forever and the worth less Sehwan Barrage and dangerous Reni Canal project must be stopped at once.
1.8 Sindhi language is the mother tongue of Sindhi people since ages and shall remain so till eternity. It is a fully developed language, rich in all forms of literature, poetry and prose. The people of Sindh demand that all efforts should be made by the Government to further develop and enrich this ancient and beautiful language by according it the status of Pakistan's national language and by ensuring that T.V and Radio Stations air Sindhi programs for a certain period of time every day.
2. Ethnic Cleansing & Demographic re-engineering
2.1 The persistent influx into Sindh of migrants from other provinces and other countries must be stopped immediately. All undocumented residents or those who have manufactured fraudulent documents should be deported to their country origin. The constitution should be so amended that for employment and self employment purposes a citizen of Pakistan should obtain a work permit if he is to work in a province other than his province of permanent residence, and such work permit be issued only when the host province has zero un-employment percentage.
2.2 To maintain sanctity of democratic institutions, only born or naturalized citizens shall have a right to vote in local or national elections. Anyone found guilty of acquiring voting right through fraudulent means shall be sentenced to imprisonment and be subjected to automatic deportation after release.
2.3 Both the government and private sector be subjected to Equal Employment Opportunity laws. These laws shall prohibit hiring practices based upon family ties, community membership, or other non-merit considerations. To offset for social and economic in-equalities, fair employment practices should be introduced to fill the gap between un-proportional representations of various ethnic and professional groups in the society. A total ban shall be imposed upon distributing key positions and highly paid jobs to retired members of armed forces.
2.4 NFC award shall not be based only on population but other weighted indices as well. Consideration must be given to net contribution of each province, economic backward index, infrastructure deficit indices, previous performance of producing desirable results, cost of living, skills development and skills inventory, emerging local and international economic opportunities and positioning and preparedness of each state, human rights record, performance of uplifting disadvantaged classes and groups of the society including women, children and handicapped.
2.5 The Constitution should be so amended that citizens should have right to vote only in the places and provinces of their permanent residence.
2.6 A quota of 80% be fixed and implemented for the purpose of employment of indigenous people in all private business and industry including multinational corporations.
2.7 An Anti-discriminatory Board should be established with required legal powers having indigenous people as members, to monitor fair application of the rule that indigenous people get 80% quota in all private industry and multinational corporations.
2.8 The 1990 census should be accepted and the remaining unfinished part of that census be completed other wise census should be conducted de-facto, by clamping curfew in the whole country and counting heads wherever they are on that particular day. This will eliminate duplicate counting and the anomaly of awarding NFC funds to one province while its people are immigrants in another.
2.9 Fair employment practices should be introduced to fill the gap between un-proportional representations of various ethnic groups in the society and Sindhis should be given due and equal share of jobs and opportunities in Ministries, Foreign Services, Technocracy, Secretarial Positions, Higher and Subordinate Judiciary, Police Services, District Management, Customs, Port Authorities, WAPDA, PTV, PTCL, Sui Gas, Railways, PIA and Income Tax departments.
2.10 Approximately three million illegal immigrants from India, Bangladesh, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and other parts of world live in Karachi, quite a few which are not only involved in various heinous crimes like narcotics, drug and women trafficking, terrorism and black marketing but they also pose threat to the peaceful democratic life and integrity of Sindh and Sindhi people. They must be identified and repatriated to their respective countries meanwhile they should not be given any political rights.
3. Provincial Autonomy / 1940 Resolution
3.1 In order to retain member states into a union, the country must reflect the original image of Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Pakistan. Pakistan must become a truly federal state with empowering senate with equal representation from all states and over riding powers over national assembly. All federal appointments like judges of Supreme Court, Chief Election Commissioner, members and chairman of Federal Public Service Commission, Ambassadors, heads of autonomous bodies, and Chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force staffs, should be made after the scrutiny and approval of the senate. The provincial governors shall directly be elected by the people. The elected governors must have veto power over every decision of the provincial assembly unless overturned by 2/3rd majority of the house.
3.2 Making Pakistan a truly representative and structurally balanced federal state and making the senate all-powerful would make it conform to the vision of its founder Qaud-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The members of the senate should be directly elected and passage of budget and money bills should be made after the scrutiny and approval of the senate.
3.3 Pakistan can be a federal state in true sense when all fiscal resources (duties and taxes) are assigned to the respective provinces. The expenditure incurred on running federal structure be contributed by the provinces in accordance with their proportion in population.
3.4 Strict adherence to quota of indigenous Sindhi officers be maintained in all federal government ministries and autonomous bodies and indigenous Sindhis should also be taken on the Boards of Governors of all Autonomous bodies like PIA, National Shipping Corporation, Civil Aviation, PTCL, State Bank, PIC, PIDC, etc.
3.5 Concurrent list must be abolished, which was a promise of the then federal government in 1973 to the smaller provinces.
3.6 The Sixth NFC award should be decided on following basis:
- Index of infrastructure in the province
- Human development index of backwardness in the province.
- Ratio of poverty in the province
- Level of per capita income in comparison to the other provinces
- Revenue generation capacity
- Burden of legal and illegal immigrants
4. Neutrality of Armed Forces through equal representation of all the Provinces
4.1 Armed forces have continuously subverted provincial autonomy under the pretext of National Integrity, partly because in violation of the Constitutional Principle of Policy under Art. 39 which directs that "The State shall enable people from all parts of Pakistan to participate in the Armed Forces of Pakistan," the Pakistan Army remains a regional army without attaining a national and inclusive character. Jawans (soldiers) and officers cadre belong to only two provinces of Pakistan. In order to promote partnership in the well-being and integrity of Pakistan, a national conscription must be introduced at once.
4.2 In order to invest the armed forces with a truly federal Character, the people of Sindh demand that provincial quota for the indigenous people of Sindh, applicable in the case of other Federal Services should be made applicable to armed forces as well and till such time as the indigenous people of the province of Sindh have attained representation at lower and officer cadre commensurate with their population, no recruitment should be made from such province as have already excess representation.
4.3 The Center should be given charge of only 3 subjects viz Defense, Currency and Foreign affairs.
4.4 Pakistan's defense budget is not transparently made and spent. Like wise Pakistan's defense policy is a complete failure, the reason behind is that it does not represent all four provinces, therefore it must put before discussion in all four provincial assemblies and national assembly and decisions must be made in the light of resolutions by the joint session of parliament.
5. Water Issues and Compensation Packages
5.1 The Federal Government on account of the forcible usurpation of the capital of Sindh, Karachi, during the years 1948-70, must give a compensation of Rs. 100 billion to the province of Sindh. The said amount be utilized for educational and developmental uplift of indigenous people of Sindh who were adversely affected by the usurpation of their historic port city, and the nerve center of their entire commercial, economic and cultural life, and the greatest generator of jobs in their province.
5.2 A compensation of Rs. 200 billions be paid by the Federal Government to the Sindhi people, for giving away the urban property and business to the immigrants under confiscatory settlement laws enacted by the immigrant bureaucracy, thereby closing all avenues for indigenous people to urbanize and to enter into business and industry.
5.3 Rs.200 billion be paid to the indigenous people of Sindh by the Federal Government as compensation for the agricultural lands given away to non-locals in Kotri and Guddu Barrage command, that rightfully belonged to the indigenous people of Sindh.
5.4 A panel of judges of world repute, belonging to SARC, OIC and World Court be appointed, finally to settle the1853-2005 Sindh-Punjab water dispute.
5.5 In the meantime, the violations of the undertakings regarding Chashma-Jehlum and Taunsa_Panjnad Link Canals be stopped forthwith and the illegal canals be closed for ever.
5.6 All other thefts and plunders of Indus waters be stopped.
5.7 Construction of Greater Thal Canal be stopped.
5.8 Project of further dams on Indus be finally given up.
6. Governance, Justice & Human Rights
6.1 The district government system in the name of so-called devolution of power introduced by the establishment should be abolished, as it is unworkable and has become a cause of great confusion and misery for the common man and also as a source of conflict between provincial and local governments.
6.2 Division of District Hyderabad should be annulled immediately and in future delimitation of districts or talukas should be subjected to legislation through Sindh Assembly after debating the subject fully.
6.3 All cases against terrorists that were dropped by current and previous Sindh Governments should be re-opened and pursued and all terrorists and murderers must be punished according to the fair legal procedures and requirements. Persons responsible for this criminal practice of causing such heinous injustice through withdrawal of cases against terrorists be punished sternly.
6.4 Civil Servants and all kinds of government employees should be given protection of law by strict adherence to lay down procedures and by strengthening Service Tribunals.
6.5 Cruel treatment of prisoners should be stopped and jail manuals be brought up to international standards. Child and Bonded labour be stopped at once.
6.6 Murders under Karo Kari (honour killings) should be treated as crimes against the state and Hadd (Islamic) laws should be excluded from Karo Kari murders. Violence against women, children and religious minorities be stopped.
6.7 Honest and credible senior sindhi speaking police officers be posted in all the districts of Sindh where the law and order situation has been sensitized due to the unholy alliance of agencies, dacoits and feudal.
7. Development of Sindh
7.1 For fast industrialization of Sindh, coal reserves at Thar should be utilized to create cheap electric power and industrialists all around Pakistan and abroad should be encouraged to set up industries with the condition that such industries shall employ 80% local work force.
7.2 Through a crash program, all farm to market roads in Sindh should be built and connected with taluka and district headquarters to create a vast network of roads interconnecting whole of Sindh.
7.3 Three bridges should be built over Indus in Sindh joining Kandh kot with Ghotki, Khairpur with Larkana and Sakrand with Manjhand. These bridges will join Sindh into a vibrant whole.
7.4 The Government of Sindh should help establish industries in rural Sindh, based on agriculture produce and indigenous raw material, by providing infrastructure and incentives to indigenous entrepreneurs of training; soft loans and setting up tax free zones.
7.5 Goth Abad Act-1987 should be made effective in letter and spirit to ensure that people living in villages get ownership rights enabling them to have privileges of obtaining house building loans and other facilities. A Board consisting of indigenous people as members must monitor this process.
7.6 Agriculture markets (Mandis) like those of Karachi and Hyderabad be established in all cities and towns of Sindh, reserving 50% shops to Haris and abadgars.
7.7 People of Sindh demand that a crash program be launched to provide the basic human right of clean and germ free drinking water to the inhabitants of all large and small cities, settlements and villages of Sindh.
7.8 A crash program be launched to treat sewage drain water and to use it to irrigate lands. In case of discharge of sewage into canals and waterways, it should be ensured to have been treated to the required level. In case of violation of this principle major penalty be imposed on concerned officials.
7.9 Top priority should be given to education, especially to female children, and all children should be given stipend of Rs. 100 per month, uniforms, books, shoes and free wholesome lunch at government expense till matriculation.
7.10 School, College and University teachers should all have free medical facilities and urban and rural teachers should have uniform allowance including house rent.
7.11 A nation wide yearly Scholarship examination must be initiated to help such meritorious school and university students who cannot afford higher education.
7.12 Fishermen should be given basic and equal opportunities, small loans and access to all natural lakes and deep waters.
7.13 People of Sindh demand that a Bank of Small Loans be established by Sindh Government that should lend up to Rs.20, 000/ on personal guarantee to poor people so that they do not fall in the clutches of money lenders who charge 120 % interest per annum.
8. New legislation and Haris (Peasants) and Laborers
8.1 Haris and small khatedars (growers) must be given the status of Agricultural Labor and should be given the protection of medical facilities through social security, old age pension and adjudication of their complaints through Hari Courts, much as for industrial labor now. Contract labour system should be stopped. So also contract system in fisheries should be ended. Privatization of national industries should be reversed.
8.2 Haris should be provided plots on State lands and loans for constructing houses so that whenever they no more work for the zamindar, they should still have a place to live.
8.3 Huge allotments of land made by the present terrorist-dominated government from Karachi to Hyderabad and Thatta, Mirpurkhas and elsewhere in Sindh under numerous bogus pretexts should be cancelled and granted to deserving haris and indigenous people. Those responsible be punished sternly. All land records should be computerized in such a way that revenue officials are unable to alter the same through bribery and corruption.

9.3 The people of Sindh demand that the Sindhi Press be considered as National Press and Government and multinational companies give advertisement revenue to Sindhi Newspapers, Satellite Channels and electronic media commensurate with the population of Sindhi speaking people, as the Government of Pakistan gets 70% revenue from Sindh and the multinationals earn huge profits from selling their products to Sindhi people.
9.4 Sindhi writers, sportsmen and artists should be incorporated in national teams and in all national delegations to abroad.
9.5 Sindhi language should be given its due share and status in all public sector TV and radio programs.
