The Awami Tahreek took out a rally in the Nasim Nagar area of Hyderabad, while a number of shops and businesses in the district remained shut.
Party workers also demonstrated outside the press club in Sukkur.
Protest rallies were also taken out in Badin, Matli, Thatta, Sajawal, Shahpur, Tando Mohammad Khan, Digri, Tando Jam Mohammad and Tharparkar.
Altaf Hussain had earlier also said that he apologised if he had hurt the sentiments of native Sindhis with his remarks on their pre-partition status. He clarified that his speech was only against those who discriminate against Mohajirs on the basis of ethnicity, and were directing insults towards them.

@Naveed: I too.... Please inform me when you are moving.. Let us settle in my Sasural's place... Uttar Pradesh...
@lhk , delusional indeed .But look who are reaping the benefits of our forefathers delusion in the name of Paksitan ,those who never had "any" particiaption and were under severe "illusion" and got this land on a platter one very fine morning .
And talking of personal failure , comeon...... we all know which segement of Karachi has the highest achievemet solely based on their pesonal effort from scratch and who delve themselves to migrate into this city to get a piece of the baked pie , cooked by those who you loathfully love to call delusioned
@Naveed: you are far more delusional than your forefathers....people immigrate all the time...maybe the problem lies with you. Stop ranting on a public forum over some personal failure...
@Natasha Suleman...well you see giving up citizenship is the core where the problem starts from ...I have tried to get immigration in so many countries only to find out that they dnt want any Pakistanis among them ..guess they are already fed up of all the paper-marrying, illegal immigrants that they cant seem to get rid of. don't spew hatred for me .....it is now a gruesome reality than anything else....."Pakistan is an ideological misconception."...do you want me to prove it mathematically?. my forefathers were delusional...I AM NOT!
The funniest thing is...people who were born and have lived in Pakistan all their lives and/or have NEVER set foot in India call themselves mohajir!! lol. yes my grandparents migrated from South India which makes them mohajir but me? how can i be a 'mohajir' when i have never even left my city for more than a month?? I am a Pakistani and nothing else.
Naveed,
Watcha waiting for?
@ Naveed, If they offer a room to you, it will be in Mumbai slums where millions of Muslims live in gutters and drainpipes. Do you think they will give you room next to Bopasha Basu? Accept reality and make Pakistan a better place than it is now and trust me its still much better than so called shining India.
@naveed shame on you for saying this . i think you should go to india and settle in gujrat. i am sure narender moodi will accept you with open arms .you are blaming pakisan for the blunders of the politicians . its like blaming islam for the ill practice of muslims
They have absolutely equal rights to protest in peaceful manner.
my humble request to all muhajirs and sindhis,(i am sindhi speaking) please don't take it emotionally,this is the fight between MQM and PPP, and they both deliberately do this just to gain their political means. we sindhi's(urdu speaking, sindhi speaking) are brother. no one can separate us because we are the sons of same mother(sindh). please stay cool and calm. let them do whatever they want.
not sure about Altaf ...but I surely want to go back to India ....I dont want to pay for the mistake my forefathers made ...Hello Indians...do you have a room for a lost Pakistani??
