The ongoing severe 'Water Crisis' with resultant everlasting impacts, resulting from the intransigence and arrogance of Punjab, violating all the treaties and accords, remained the main concern of the delegates, along with other important issues of economic collapse, unemployment, settlement of illegal immigrants, military colonisation and victimisation of Sindhis by the security forces, he conference reiterated and upheld the 'Right to Self-Determination' of Sindhis, in view of the failed promises of 1940 Resolution and lack of constitutional guaranties. The conference recognised the gravity of the situation and enormity of the problems, unanimously agreed on the resolutions. The expert recommendations followed after the sessions along with the proposals for 'Legal Aid Bureau' and 'Sindh Unity Committee' to formulate the 'Political Code of Conduct' and 'Future Strategy'. The AGM also entrusted the new elected office bearers with mandate for three years and appointed District Co-ordinators to consolidate the achievement and progress. RESOLUTIONS; 1. The house recognising the threat posed to the geo-political integrity of the motherland, threatening the survival of Sindhis, calls upon all the Sindhis, various political parties and groups to unite at this critical juncture and support in the struggle to defend the historic national rights of Sindhis and the integrity of the motherland. Thus all the ethnic minority groups living in Sindh are invited to join the struggle of the Sindhi people to safeguard the integrity of Sindh, the historic homeland of Sindhi people. 2. Sindh has been denied its socio-economic, cultural, civil, political and historic national rights, beside much trumpeted status of an independent, autonomous and sovereign state as envisaged in the Pakistan Resolution of 1940. In view of the continuing violation of constitutional and human rights of Sindhis, the house upholds the inherent & inalienable Right to Self-Determination of all the people, including Sindhis, and calls upon the Member states to promote the Right to Self Determination of the peoples as per United Nations charter, International Covenants and International Law. 3. The house expressed extreme resentment at the interference in the democratic process and imposition of minority rule in Sindh, including the terrorists, thus blatantly violating the mandate of the Sindhi people. House further resents the political nomination of terrorist for the post of Governor of Sindh, who constitutionally is the representative of Federal Government and supposed to be neutral, thus guaranteeing the constitutional rights of the citizens. House realized that this tantamounts to worst form of neo-colonisation, by the federal authorities at the behest of terrorists, who have made a mockery of the constitution and law & order. The house demands that the 'Right to Self-Rule' of Sindhis be recognised and the ethnic minority, which constitutes less than 25% of the population and has similar representation in the Sindh Assembly, should be given the representation according to their representation i.e. less than 25% in the government, and not more than 60% as in present undemocratic setup. 4. The house strongly opposes the evil plans to obliterate the existence of Sindh, under the disguise of 'Devolution Plan' and condemns the centralisation of many Provincial Portfolios, including Highways, Ports, etc. The house feels that this tantamount to re- imposition of One Unit and direct control of local bodies by federal government. House demands that the sovereignty of Sindhis be recognised over Sindh morally, politically and constitutionally keeping in view the unchallengable dictates of history and the centuries old cultural continuity between the great Indus Civilisation of Mohan-jo-Darro and present day Sindh, thus all the provincial subjects, including Ports, Highways, Industrial Complexes, Jinnah Courts & other institutions, etc. be handed back to the Government of Sindh. 5. Extreme concern was expressed at the widespread violation of Human Rights in Pakistan and Sindh in particular, including Rape, Torture, Fake Encounters, Extra-Judicial Killings, Arbitrary Detention, Summary Executions and death in Custody of innocent civilians, and detention of Sindhi political activists. The meeting demands that the basic human rights must be ensured as per the 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights'. It is resolved that basic Human Rights as unanimously agreed upon by the member states in the 'Vienna Declaration and Plan of Action' must be implemented without delay. 6. The conference condemned the creation of 'Special Courts' particularly the 'National Accountability Bureau' which is being used to intimidate and victimise the political opponents and further undermine the political process. The house resolved that 'Special Courts should be abolished as they violate the international law and all the interference in the judiciary be stopped. The house demanded that: internationally acknowledged standard of fair trial and independence of

  • Pakistan Was Suspended by President General Musharaff in March Last Year Leading to a Worldwide Uproar Against This Act
    A Coup against Judicial Independence . Special issue of the CJEI Report (February, 2008) ustice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, the twentieth Chief Justice of Pakistan was suspended by President General Musharaff in March last year leading to a worldwide uproar against this act. However, by a landmark order J handed down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Chaudhry was reinstated. We at the CJEI were delighted and hoped that this would put an end to the ugly confrontation between the judiciary and the executive. However our happiness was short lived. On November 3, 2007, President General Musharaff suspended the constitution and declared a state of emergency. Soon the Pakistan army entered the Supreme Court premises removing Justice Chaudhry and other judges. The Constitution was also suspended and was replaced with a “Provisional Constitutional Order” enabling the Executive to sack Chief Justice Chaudhry, and other judges who refused to swear allegiance to this extra­constitutional order. Ever since then, the judiciary in Pakistan has been plunged into turmoil and Justice Chaudhry along with dozens of other Justices has been held incommunicado in their homes. Any onslaught on judicial independence is a matter of grave concern to all more so to the legal and judicial fraternity in countries that are wedded to the rule of law. In the absence of an independent judiciary, human rights and constitutional guarantees become meaningless; the situation capable of jeopardising even the long term developmental goals of a country. As observed by Viscount Bryce, “If the lamp of justice goes out in darkness, how great is the darkness.” This is really true of Pakistan which is presently going through testing times.

The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.
