Jacobabad
– 28 September 2002
Mr
Altaf Hussain, MQM Founder & Leader, has stated that no one could now
prevent the spread of MQM’s message of unity and united struggle for the
rights of Sindh amongst the permanent residents of Sindh Province. He was
addressing an MQM election rally in Jacobabad.
Alongside the Sindhi and Baloch people of Jacobabad, thousands of people
of religious minorities participated in the rally.
Mr Hussain said that both the Sindhi and Urdu Speaking people are the sons of Sindh Dharti as they live and die in Sindh. For decades the Establishment conspired to confront them against each other. Now that they are uniting, the Establishment is once again conspiring to sabotage this unity. The Establishment and its agents are spreading the propaganda that Altaf Hussain has relinquished the struggle for Mohajir rights. He said that those who are spreading such baseless propaganda are neither the friends of Mohajirs nor of Sindh Province. He categorically stated that despite all such baseless accusations of the Establishment he would continue his struggle for the rights of Sindh.. If Sindh attains its rights then both the deprived Mohajirs and Sindhis would also attain their rights. He said that no one could deny the fact that if on the one hand Mohajirs are deprived of their rights then on the other hand Sindhis are also facing injustices.
Mr
Hussain said that we are grateful and indebted to our Sindhi brethren for
providing us shelter in Sindh and if today we do not struggle for the rights of
Sindh then it would be ungrateful
on our part. He assured that we are
not ungrateful and would repay our debt by acquiring the deprived rights of
Sindh. Mr Hussain advised the
people not to be deceived by the Establishment’s propaganda and realise that
the unity amongst the Urdu and Sindhi Speaking people is in the interest of
Sindh. He said that despite all the
conspiracies of the Establishment, the unity between Urdu and Sindhi Speaking
people is strengthening with every passing day. Sindh is awakening, revolution
is inevitable and it is imminent to provide full provincial autonomy to Sindh
Province.
During his address Mr Hussain highlighted the problems faced by the resident of Jacobabad including water shortage, inadequate sewerage system and load-shedding. He assured that all these problems would be resolved when Muttahida would form the Government in Sindh. Dozens of people publicly announced to join Muttahida.
