BJP MP Jethmalani Affirms India’s Support to Sindhis in Pakistan

Opening up on the plight of Sindhis in Pakistan, Jethmalani said efforts would be made to persuade the Centre to consider providing refuge to people from the community if they face persecution in their homeland.

After Parliament passed two Bills for Jammu and Kashmir, which provide seats for members from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to the provincial assembly following the restoration of statehood, senior advocate and BJP MP Mahesh Jethmalani on Thursday affirmed India’s support to Sindhis in Pakistan, assuring assistance in the face of persecution or atrocities.Opening up on the plight of Sindhis in Pakistan, Jethmalani said efforts would be made to persuade the Centre to consider providing refuge to people from the community if they face persecution in their homeland.”We will not interfere with the internal affairs of Pakistan. But if they (Sindhis) are in any trouble, or being persecuted or being subjected to atrocities, we will try to persuade the government to give them refugee status and shelter them here,” the senior advocate added.Earlier. in September this year, the Sindhi Foundation organised a day-long poster campaign in front of the United Nations office in Geneva to make people aware of the plight of Sindhis in Pakistan’s Sindh province.The campaign was held during the 54th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.Speaking to ANI, the executive director of Sindhi Foundation, Manawar Laghari, said, “The message is very very clear. Pakistan is a hurdle and is really a curse on the earth. No one is happy. Neither the people living in Sindh, Balochistan or Pakhtunkhwa, Saraikis, Hazaras, Chitrals, Gilgit – all those oppressed people they want to get rid of this country”.”They want freedom from Pakistan and my message to the United Nations is this – we want referendum under the supervision of the United Nations not what the data Pakistan has, especially with the ISI, we don’t believe in that. Under the supervision of the UN referendum to get our independence. This is our very clear message,” he added. (ANI)
