The demonstrators sought intervention of world leaders in their demand for creation of a separate Sindhudesh.


The rally may add to the woes of an already beleaguered Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is being cornered by the joint opposition alliance with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari eyeing a no-confidence motion against the government.  



Why was the rally organized?


The pro-freedom rally was organized on the occasion of 117th birth anniversary of the GM Syed, who was one of the founding fathers of the country. In what may be a bolt from the blue for the troubled IK Government, is that placards of Narendra Modi were raised during the protests, as the PTI government hounds on an anti-India agenda.


The protesters have claimed that Sindh province is the home of the Indus valley civilization and vedic religion. They have alleged that the area was illegitimately occupied by British forces and was unfairly delivered to Pakistan in 1947.
