The division of Sindh will never be accepted, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Sindh, General Secretary, Maulana Rashid Mahmood Soomro, said on Thursday while addressing a press conference at the Larkana Press Club.

Endeavours are underway to revive the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the division of Sindh will not be tolerated, he said. It was a categorical stand of the JUI-F that Sindh would not be divided into two parts at all, Soomro added.

The dictator Musharraf, during his regime strengthened one party in Karachi and now the federal government was trying to make it powerful, he said.

The general secretary alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was working on a foreign agenda, which had become clear.

People are dying daily due to the massive hike in prices, but nobody has taken any notice, he said.

Karachi is not being separated from Sindh, but it has been decided to separate it from Pakistan, Soomro said.

JUI-F leaders warned that if such matters are not stopped within two days then protests will be held across the country and sit-ins will also be staged on the bordering areas of Sindh and Punjab.

During the by-election on PS-11, JUI-F will support Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) candidate Moazim Ali Abbasi and his covering candidate would be JUI-F’s Maulana Nasir Mahmood Soomro, the general secretary said.

The JUI-F leaders on the occasion appealed to Pir Pagaro to part his ways from the federal government because it was the issue of Sindh (of using article 149). They also appealed to people of Sindh to support them on the issue of the division of Sindh.
