Pakistan is on the boil as massive protests in Karachi demanding a separate Sindhudesh escalated into violence. Demonstrators took to the streets on Sindhi Culture Day on Sunday, calling for an independent Sindhudesh — a long-standing demand of Sindhi nationalist groups, India Today reported. The situation soon spiralled, with stone pelting, vandalism and clashes with police across parts of the city.
Slogans of ‘Azadi’ and ‘Pakistan Murdabad’ Report says a large group of Sindhis, mobilised under the banner of Jiye Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSSM), raised slogans of “Azadi” (freedom) and “Pakistan Murdabad”, intensifying their call for Sindh’s liberation. Sindhudesh, the ancient name for modern-day Sindh, refers to the province located along the Indus River that became part of Pakistan during the Partition of 1947.
