HAYAT PITAFI / MIRPUR MATHELO: A Pakistan Zindabad and Pak Army Zindabad rally was organized in the historic town of Hayat Pitafi under the leadership of Professor Asghar Mujahid Mehr, President of Tanzeem Fikr-o-Nazar Sindh and former EDO Education Ghotki, along with Finance Secretary Rais Niaz Ahmed Mehr and senior member Rais Muhammad Anwar Channar.
The rally started from the Shahdani Nagar Gate and passed through the main Chowk before reaching Pakistan Chowk, Hayat Pitafi. A flag-hoisting ceremony was held there after the recitation of the Holy Quran and the national anthem.
A large number of prominent citizens participated in the ceremony, including Rais Ali Gohar, Rais Mir Ahmed Channar, Bhuttar Muhammad Ali Mashori, Atam Das Kakreja, Tulsidas Gihani, journalist Naeemullah Haidri and Rais Ali Muhammad. Journalist Qadir Bakhsh Qadri of Kash News was also present for media coverage.
Addressing the Pakistan Zindabad rally, Professor Asghar Mujahid Mehr said that Pakistan was a great blessing and a divine gift for the Muslims of the subcontinent. He said Muslims achieved independence after a long struggle and immense sacrifices under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
He said the people of the subcontinent had secured freedom from British rule and the conspiracies of those who opposed the creation of Pakistan. He particularly highlighted the historic role of Sindh in the Pakistan Movement, saying that Sindh’s Legislative Assembly was the first elected assembly of the subcontinent to pass a resolution supporting the establishment of Pakistan on March 3, 1943, under the leadership of G.M. Syed, then President of the Sindh Muslim League.
Professor Mehr said the struggle and sacrifices of the Muslims of Sindh for the creation of Pakistan were historic and unparalleled. He maintained that every patriotic Sindhi supports Pakistan wholeheartedly and considers the Pakistan Army a guarantor of the country’s unity, sovereignty and security.
He said the Pakistan Army was protecting the country’s ideological and geographical frontiers and had rendered great and unforgettable sacrifices for the defense of Pakistan. He expressed confidence that Pakistan would remain a strong Islamic state forever, Insha’Allah.
However, he expressed concern over what he described as attempts by certain elements to create division and conflict in peaceful Sindh by raising demands for the division of the province. He said Sindh was the foundation of Pakistan and warned that any interference with the unity of Sindh could negatively affect the unity and security of Pakistan. He added that a united Sindh would contribute to a strong and stable Pakistan.
Rais Niaz Ahmed and Qadir Channar also addressed the gathering.
At the conclusion of the event, the participants passed a resolution expressing concern over the absence and alleged lack of interest of Union Council Chairman Muhammad Siddiq Haidarani in national programs held in Hayat Pitafi. The participants claimed that the chairman had not provided cooperation for such programs for several years despite the Union Council receiving a monthly budget of around Rs1.2 million. They demanded a strict audit of the funds and called upon the relevant authorities to take notice of the alleged absence and lack of cooperation in important national events.
Professor Asghar Mujahid Mehr personally bore the expenses of the event and distributed sweets among the participating students and children.
