Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab today strongly denounced an alleged statement by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh concerning Sindh, characterizing the remarks as a reflection of India”s diplomatic failures and a sign of regional panic.
In a formal statement, Mayor Wahab asserted that the Indian ministers comments demonstrate a loss of composure and that the accusations against the province are an indirect acknowledgment of Pakistan’s recent diplomatic superiority in the region.
He emphasized Sindh”s ancient heritage, citing its civilization as thousands of years old with the Indus Valley and Mohenjo-daro serving as irrefutable proof of its centuries-old integrity. The mayor affirmed that any attempts by India to distort the province”s history would ultimately prove unsuccessful.
Wahab recounted key historical milestones, noting that Sindh was the first gateway for Islam in the subcontinent. He also pointed out that while the British had forcibly placed the region under the Bombay Presidency, Sindh achieved its independence through a sustained struggle in 1936. Furthermore, he highlighted that the Sindh Assembly was the first to approve the Pakistan Resolution, calling it a clear testament to the region”s ideological commitment.
The mayor accused the Indian leadership of attempting to generate regional tension by misrepresenting history. He contended that such propaganda is destined to fail, as Sindh”s historical identity is globally recognized and its people have a long-standing record of resisting foreign domination in every era.
Concluding his remarks, Barrister Murtaza Wahab declared that anti-Pakistan narratives would never succeed, as Sindh”s loyalty and ideological connection to the nation are historically proven and indisputable.
