Mr Altaf Hussain, founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has appealed that steps should be taken to protect the historic and cultural heritage of Sindh. He said that successive governments have unfortunately failed to discharge their duties of protecting Moeanjo daro, five and a half thousands years cultural heritage of Sindh, due to which this historical and cultural heritage is in a such bad state.

MQM will continue to struggle for the up keep of the historical heritage of Moeanjo daro and other historic places.  Mr. Altaf Hussain also appealed to President Musharraf, Prime Minister Zafar ullah Khan Jamali and the Federal Minister for Tourism Naseer Ahmed to take concrete steps for the protection and safeguard of the historic heritage of Moeanjo daro.
