British group calls for 'self-determination' for Sindh
The Pakistani lobby in London has suffered a setback when a
group headed by several British lawmakers passed a resolution
supporting "self-determination" for Pakistan's Sindh province.
The group called Liberation, headed by Labor MP Jeremy
Corbyn, also passed a resolution against the declaration of
emergency rule in Sindh. The resolution comes at a time when
opposition parties have been warning the Pakistani government
that an East Pakistan-like situation is building up within Sindh.
Leaders of both the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and the Awami
National Party reportedly said in Pakistan's National Assembly
that a movement was building up in Sindh similar to that in East
Pakistan in 1971, which led to the break-up of Pakistan and the
creation of an independent Bangladesh.
