State institutions have hijacked autonomy of nations, claims Imdad Qazi.
The annual seminar, which was titled Right of Self-determination Day this year, organised on April 1 by the JSM is a commemoration of the day when Sindh was given independent status as a state under Section 40(3) of Government of India Act 1935. Several party supporters and other members of society attended the event.
Junejo demanded the annulment of the 1973 Constitution and called for provincial autonomy for all provinces in accordance with the resolution of 1940. He urged separatist parties and progressive fronts to work in collaboration with each other in order to reach their goals. He accused the assemblies of trying to suppress nations claiming that Sindh was “not an international orphanage where outsiders had a right to be resettled.” Communist Party general secretary, Imdad Qazi, emphasised that the state institutions had hijacked the autonomy of nations through torture and religion.
The army had deliberately treated India as an enemy of the state, when the real threat was internal. “Extremists will occupy this country after upcoming elections,” he cautioned. Awami Worker Party’s Nasir Mansoor warned that Pakistan had progressively become an American state after its separation from India, blaming the state for not fulfilling its responsibilities.
