HYDERABAD:
The Sindh Taraqi Pasand party appears set to rake up the recently smothered storm of ethnic friction at its 'Sindh my mother' rally in Karachi on February 9.
Magsi, who challenged the MQM chief to prove his assertion that the native Sindhis are no longer a majority in Sindh, agreed to Hussain's demand of conducting a census in Sindh under the supervision of the United Nations. "We agree to the UN led census with the supreme court's judges also as members of the census committee." The MQM chief revived the friction between Urdu speaking and Sindhis by renewing his demand for separate province at a rally.

The Sindh Taraqi Pasand party appears set to rake up the recently smothered storm of ethnic friction at its 'Sindh my mother' rally in Karachi on February 9.
While Dr Magsi announced that he will take the message of 'peace' to Karachi, his blunt criticism of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Chief Altaf Hussain will surely make the hackles rise. "Altaf wants to provoke a civil war by raising the demand for a separate province but we won't let this war happen," he declared at a press conference on Wednesday.
