Former Indian deputy prime minister LK Advani on Sunday lamented that Karachi and Sindh were not a part of India.
Reminiscing about his birthplace, Karachi, the 89-year-old said, “At times I feel sad that Karachi and Sindh are not part of India anymore. I was very active in the RSS during my childhood days in Sindh. It is matter of dismay. I believe that India appears incomplete without Sindh.”

Advani was speaking at the 48th ascension anniversary of spiritual leader Pitashri Brahma. The leader also praised Brahma's organisation for according importance to women and placing them in high positions in its hierarchy. "I have not seen any other organisation like this which is mainly led by women. It is really amazing. I have been associated with one organisation for years and respect it. I humbly tell anyone who meets me to learn from them," he said.
Sindh became part of Pakistan after the Partition of India. It is Pakistan's third largest province and borders India's Gujarat and Rajasthan states.
