Sindhis of Hyderabad: New Red Indians

 

Dear Folks

Hyderabad, the traditional, cultural and intellectual capital of Sindh has turned in to an ORPHAN city.

The 1947 migration completely destroyed the socio-economic and cultural landscape of this beautiful town of Sindhi academia, intellectuals, middle class enterprising. The divide of Hyderabad on ethnic lines during Musharraf’s regime was a fatal below. Hyderabad city was announced as new district to bribe MQM terrorists and now the remaining   locales of Sindhis are deprived of development. MQMs discriminatory development agenda is turning Sindhis of the town in red Indians.

The entire Sindhi population of Hyderabad always votes for PPP and it is always neglected by PPP.

At one time I used to hear from the leadership of PPP that since PPP doesn’t win seats from Hyderabad city so why this city should be given equally status to those of the districts where the party wins seats of MNAs and MPAs.

Even the nationalists are behaving like visitors of the city..They do arrange political gatherings agitations and rallies for the right of Sindhi people but they don’t have any serious plan to rehabilitate the lost political glory of the people of this city.

On the other hand, instead of countering MQMs ugly agenda, the PPP leadership of the town has folded their eyes under RECONCILIATION and keep mum on every atrocities of an ethnic outfit.

The district government of MQM is shrinking the breathing space of the native indigenous population through discriminatory policies. Some traitors form with in Sindhis are supporting MQM and the shocking news is that some PPP leaders, close friends of Mr. president (another breed of accidental politicians and a curse on Sindh) and others are pulling them in to PPP folds and supporting them.

The tug of war between various PPP stalwarts over transfers and postings of their favorites and cronies is another area of the miseries of Sindhis of the town.

 “Adding salt to the injury” is that the VISIONARY minister for education Pir Mazhar is ordering to close Sindhi medium girls’ school of the city. The recent example is the Goal Building Government School. It is the only Sindhi medium school for a girl who is catering a large number of small Sindhi para (locals) from Gadi Khato, Haider Chock, Khokhar and Fareed Paro, Lajpat Raod, Station Road, Radio Pakistan Building, Rasala Raod and other locations.

These were the areas where Sindhi women fought against MQM guns and terrorist during 2008 general elections and now PPP education minister is rewarding them through closing down the schools of Sindhi girls…Corruption in the local education department is the order of the day.

The ministers, MNAS and MPAs from Hyderabad city are still in power’s hangover...

I have spoken to many minister of the present Sindh government. Send emails to president and PM and party’s high command, trying to locate Pir Mazhar, the LOIUS IV of Sindh…convincing PPP candidates from that constituency…. If even after these exercises they are going to listen peoples voice the only option will be a GHARAO culture of these ministers and high-ups through out Sindh....

Enough is enough…..

Deteriorating Sindh: PPP regime and our role

 

Dear Folks

I am writing these lines with great disappointment and anger on the state of affairs in Sindh in all sectors of governance and the conduct of present regime and especially the performance of PPP.  

I have visited 18 districts of Sindh for a district level consultation to hear the voices of the people  on six thematic issues education, health, food (agriculture, water and environment), housing, and natural resource management). This is an initiative of an international NGO.

In the 1st phase I started my journey from Karachi, Thatta, Mithi, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Dadu, Larkana, Qambar-Shahdatkot, Sukkur and now meeting people in Khairpur.

Though I am a very optimistic person but I have witnessed a great level of decline in Sindhi society in the following terms. This trip of mine in boiling heat and scratchy sun with 50+ temperatures was a trip of total frustration and regret in the following terms:

·         People are disillusioned and are still in shock of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination

·         People are totally frustrated over the state of affairs of Sindh government and its so-called policy of reconciliation and alliance with MQM and the dying anti-people and anti-PPP feudal, which tried to destroy Sindhi society and joined Musharraf to divide Sindh.

·         Deteriorating law and order situation, Jirga system, honor killing, unemployment, poverty, hunger, tribal feuds, decline in social services delivery and massive deterioration in infra-structure is the order of the day in Sindh under this so-called PRO PEOPLE REGIME  

·         People are angry on massive corruptions, nepotism, favoritism, killing on merit and other authoritarian and un0ethival acts of the entire PPP Sindh based leadership.

·         Not a single minister or legislators from Sindh is clean in these areas of preferential treatment. Everyone is just blind and ruining the social cohesiveness of Sindhi society.

·         There is a great crisis of leadership in PPP and everyone is operating through its own cronies and favorites from presidency to CM house and to speaker house Badin. Everyone is treating Sindh as their PURCHASED SLAVE.

·         And especially those who were very active against Musharraf regime and stood shoulder to shoulder with civil society in the struggle of giving a new face of democratic values, plural socio-economic and moral coherent but on the contrary the society is declining fast to an anarchic society with no leadership.

·         On the other hand the major policy level issues of Sindh like NFC, water distribution conflict with Punjab, dams’ construction, ownership of Karachi, issue of influx of Swat immigrants are washed away by the present regime. On the contrary PPP again is fighting the proxy war of military establishment and throwing peoples development agenda away from their priority.

·         Almost two years are gone only in exercise to transfers and postings of their favorites and cronies. Every legislator and minister from Sindh (in both Sindh and federal cabinet) are every day fighting over these tinny issues, killing merit and pushing Sindhi society towards a society of stone-age.

·         The days of Mr. 10% are gone, Due to price hike and financial crisis 10% is not a decent amount for them to cater their needs and now at least 30 to 40% commissioned is the order of the day.

·         Young, dynamic and brilliant youth of Sindh every day travel miles and miles to go to appear in the entry tests of various exams of different projects but next day a list of favorites comes from CM house and other influential for the replacement of meritorious people and youth is getting deprived of their rights.

·         Education department is the worst example of bad governance in Sindh. Other departments are also competing education department to win the race. In almost all the districts, the present education department managers including the minister were called a DISASTOR.

Now my question to all and to myself is that…Are we still going to support them... I believe and confess that Sindhi middle class and especially the writers, intellectuals and technocrats and even mediocre like me don’t want to discontinue their social relations with these civilized feudal of PPP.

Sindh is going fast of the hands of Sindhis… now who us going to save our motherland…,People will not come from the sky…it is you and me to change or at least play our role.

Sindh is dying in hunger, poverty, unemployment and lake of justice in all fields. It is time to wake up and stand up   

Regards

Zulfi
