Introduction
Pakistan Peoples Party

The PPP was launched at its founding convention held in Lahore on November 30 – December 01, 1967. At the same meeting, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was elected as its Chairman. Among the express goals for which the party was formed were the establishment of an “egalitarian democracy” and the “application of socialistic ideas to realize economic and social justice”. A more immediate task was to struggle against the hated dictatorship of Ayub Khan, who was at the height of his power when the PPP was formed. Basic principles of PPP enshrined:
- Islam is our Faith
- Democracy is our politics
- Socialism is our Economy
- All Power to the People
The Party also promised the elimination of feudalism in accordance with the established principles of socialism to protect and advance the interests of peasantry.

Immediately after its formation, the PPP spread its message among the workers, peasants and students throughout Pakistan, who greeted it enthusiastically. While it was still in this process, a mass uprising broke out against Ayub Khan’s dictatorship and the PPP quickly moved to play a leading role in this movement. After Ayub resigned in March 1969, an interim military government took over and announced elections for December 1970. The PPP contested these elections on the slogans of “ROTI, KAPRA AUR MAKAN” (bread, clothing and shelter) and “all power to the people.”

The masses responded heavily to it in the polls, where PPP won 81 of 138 seats allocated to West Pakistan in the National Assembly (a total of 300 seats were contested for in both wings of the country ), coming in as the second largest party after East Pakistan – based Awami League. At the provincial level, it won majority in Sindh and Punjab legislatures.

There were not enough means and time to organize and carry the message of PPP to East Pakistan. The PPP, therefore, confined its election activities to West Pakistan and fielded its candidates in that wing.

When Army rulers refused to transfer power to Awami League, which had won an absolute majority in the national legislature, a bloody civil war broke out in East Pakistan leading to Indian Military intervention defeating Pakistani Army. The humiliated army Generals had to step down. Mr. Bhutto took over as Chief Martial Law Administrator and President. Martial Law was lifted on the following April when interim constitution was passed by the National Assembly within a short span of four months after assuming office.

During its Government from Dec. 20, 1971 to July 5,1977, the PPP government made significant social and economic reforms that did much to improve the life of Pakistan’s impoverished masses. It also gave the country a new Constitution and took many other steps to promote country’s economic and political recovery after the disastrous years of military rule. PPP remained the only concrete hope for a better future of the poor masses. When elections were called by Mr. Bhutto for March 1977 nine opposition parities gathered together to pool their strength and formed Pakistan National Alliance (PNA). Although this alliance had several important centrist parties as its members, it was heavily dominated by the right – wing religious parties such as the fanatical Jamaat-I-Islami. This gave its election campaign a fundamentalist coloring expressed through the slogan for ” Nizam-I-Mustafa” (Islamic system). PPP promised in its 1977 manifesto the consolidation of its achievements made during the first term. PNA, because of its obscurantism, failed to attract the broad masses. All independent estimates predicated a PPP victory in March.

However, when the election produced this victory, returning 155 PPP. candidates to the 200 members National Assembly as opposed to only 36 PNA candidates (the 7 seats from Bluchistan were not contested by the PNA), the PNA did not accept the results. (Indeed, in the face of all predictions, it had said before the elections that it would accept nothing but an outright victory for itself). Charging rigging and fraud, it unleashed its campaign of violence and openly called for the military to take over the government. Despite government’s offers for compromise and a settlement for fresh general elections having been arrived at between the Government and the opposition, the PNA movement did not let up until the military led by General Zia-ul-Haq staged a coup d’etat and seized power on July 5,1977.

Bhutto was symbol of Reform and Reconstruction. Bhutto master minded Pakistan’s first Steel Mill, a second Port and commissioned Pakistan’s first hydro electric dam on the mighty Indus at Tarbela. He made Pakistan self sufficient in the filed of fertilizers, sugar, and cement. He nationalized Banks and Life Insurance Companies, he also initiated Pakistan’s Nuclear Programme.

1972 Land Reforms slashed the individual holding to 150 acres of irrigated or 300 acres of un-irrigated land. In 1977 the ceiling was further reduced to 100 acres of irrigated and 200 acres of un-irrigated land.

The Islamic Summit was held in Lahore attended by all the heads of Muslim states. Thus making Pakistan a center of Islamic Unity. To his credit are the Electrical Mechanical Complex at Wah, The Aeronautic Complex at Kamrah, The Kahuta Project for Nuclear Bomb. He made education upto Matric free, provided books free to the students, provided allowances to unemployed graduates and two increments to Science Graduates in their salaries, thousands of Government employees who were not confirmed for over 5 to 15 years were confirmed in their jobs. The system of part time government employees was changed to whole time government employees. First May was declared public holiday.

The economical policies of Z.A. Bhutto were anti-imperialist based on state socialism following the mould of other Third World leaders such as Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Ahmad Soekarno of Indonesia, and his own contemporary Salvador Allende of Chile who was elected, over thrown and assassinated during the same period. The Neo-Colonialists made a “horrible example” of Bhutto for his anti-Imperialistic stance, his efforts to unite Islamic World, and his demarche towards bringing Third World on one Platform apart from the Nuclear issue.

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a man of multidimensional qualities. He was a political philosopher and at the same time implemented his political philosophy.

He master minded a political party and made it a mass movement. He was an articulate mass orator and a superb diplomat. Taking the country out of chaos he was the driving force to effectively establish an organized government machinery. He was never vindictive. He faced death bravely.

Immediately following the coup, the Martial Law regime let loose a baseless campaign against the PPP and its leaders. Mr. Bhutto was framed on a murder-conspiracy charge and executed, rather judicially assassinated-on April 4, 1979.

While leading a procession in Lahore the police hit Begum Bhutto on her head who had been elected the Acting Chairperson of the Party following the arrest of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in September,1977. Benazir Bhutto who was elected as Co-Chairperson of the party, following the disqualification of Begum Nusrat Bhutto, in February,1978 suffered impairment in hearing during incarceration.

Hundreds of party workers were put to death. Thousands were lashed and tens of thousand suffered long imprisonments and detention in jails and torture cells. Even women were not spared. Not a single PPP. worker betrayed the party despite temptations by Martial Law Authorities.

Despite inexplicable repression, PPP. survived and indeed, gained in strength. Its own activists reaffirmed their resolve to fight against the criminal dictatorship. Segments of masses which had become alienated from it, now rallied to its support. The progressive forces outside the PPP. began to cooperate with it. The leadership of the party was in the hands of Mrs. Nusrat Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto-Bhutto’s widow and daughter respectively who gave it a renewed sense of radicalism. The PPP. accepted the challenge of General Zia when Ms. Benazir Bhutto commanded the party workers and supporters that party would fight on all fronts – at the polls as well as in the field demonstrations, public meetings and protests. So the party participated in the non-party local bodies elections. It swept the polls throughout the country from Karachi to Khyber, the urban as well as rural areas, and washed away the impression that PPP. has lost its popularity or mobilization capacity. It paved the way for the political parties to unite.

The proof of the party’s centrality to the politics of Pakistan came when nine political parties, including some which had helped in its overthrow as member of the PNA, united with it in the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD). In its first statement issued in February, 1981, the movement demanded the holding of “free, fair, and impartial election”. When the government failed to oblige, the MRD, in the summer of 1983, brought out its followers to confront the military in the streets of Sindh.

Benazir Bhutto rescued and rebuilt the party from scratch, leading an epic movement for the restoration of Democracy, her historical welcome in Lahore on 10th 1986 was the turn of the tide. In the meantime Zia was digging his own grave. He dismissed his hand picked protege Muhammad Khan Jonejo and dissolved the National Assembly of Pakistan on May 29, 1988. A few days before his death, while revealing his plans for a presidential system, he told a confidante “I will be around a long time”. Fate intervened on l7th August, 1988 when the C-130, carrying him crashed in a ball of fire and Zia went from ashes to ashes and his system from dust to dust.

Public funds running over tens of crores and govt. resources were made available to political parties and individual leaders opposing Pakistan People’s Party by the establishment to bar the way of success of PPP. at the polls.

General Zia-ul-Haq’s death in August, 1988, changed the scene. While Zia’s supporters were in total disarray following his death. The PPP under Benazir Bhutto’s dynamic leadership quickly mobilized public support. A number of politicians who supported Zia vied to join PPP. Despite the factors stated above the party did well in the election of November, 1988 but it was not able to repeat the performance of 1970. It emerged as single largest party in the National Assembly with 92 of the 207 seats contested in the elections. It was able to secure majority only in one province: Sindh. It was only with the support of the MQM and some small parties that it was able to form a government at the Center with Benazir Bhutto as Prime Minister, the first women in modern history to head a government of a Muslim country. She was not allowed to work independently and her government was dismissed by President Ghulam Ishaque on August 6, 1990. She had to work under the constant shadow of President Ghulam Ishaq Khan.

In the general elections held on 24 October, 1990, the Pakistan People’s Party suffered defeat due to massive rigging. The party had formed an electoral alliance with the Tehrik-e-Istiqlal and Tehrik-e-Nafaz Fiqh Jafria (TNFJ), under the name of Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDA) The PPP won 46 of 107 national assembly seats contested by it. Islamic Jamhoori Itehad (IJI) led by Mian Muhainmad Nawaz Sharif won with majority.

PPP allegations were confirmed by Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, the caretaker Prime Minister in 1990 that the elections were stolen and had been rigged. In Sindh a reign of terror was let loose. So much so that Asif Ali Zardari was involved in 12 criminal cases including a case of murder of 5 persons. Despite Jam Sadiq and Muzaffar’s personal supervision he was acquitted in all the cases,. Jam Sadiq said had I been instructed by the President I would have managed to defeat Benazir.

After the dismissal of Nawaz Sharif’s Government in 1973, Benazir Bhutto returned to office, following long March on Nov. 18, 1992 when Benazir Bhutto was baton charged and arrested. Many PPP. leaders and workers were beaten and arrested by Sharif Government. Benazir Bhutto once again returned to the office of Prime Minister.Benazir Bhutto had redefined the Party programme at the Silver Jubilee of the Party at Lahore in November, 1992. The New Social contract envisaged a social market economy, Privatization of the means of production, downsizing of the government, devolution of power and decentralization to the level of Local Government. So Benazir Bhutto’s government was dismissed for the second time on November 5,1996 by her hand picked President Farooq Leghari, who betrayed her as General Zia-ul-Haq had betrayed her father. In the aftermath of the 1997, engineered elections, Pakistan fell into the grip of a civilian dictatorship and the Muslim League into the clutches of Sharif family. Sharif’s, a protege of Zia, amended the constitution. Taking advantage of the nuclear tests of May 28, the government proclaimed an Emergency which enabled the Federal government to impose a unitary form of Government by arrogating powers of provincial governments to itself. In the province of Sindh, the country’s second largest Province, where the Muslim League was a Minority party with less than a fifth of the seats in the Provincial Assembly maneuvered to form government. A similar threat loomed large on the North West Frontier Province where the Muslim League minority Government had parted ways with the traditionally strong Awami National Party. The government of the Baluchistan National Party led by Akhtar Mengal was over thrown. In a bid to concentrate powers in their family, the Sharif brothers maneuvered the passage of the Shariat Bill i.e. the l5th Amendment (AC 15) in the National Assembly which was however stalled in the Senate.

Benazir Bhutto is in forced exile these days and her husband Asif Ali Zardari is in jail since November, 1996 facing bravely a number of cases engineered by Sharif Govt. as process of victimization, spurred by political vendetta. General Pervaiz Musharraf took over on Oct. 12, 1999 by removing corrupt and inept Government of Nawaz Sharif. In reply to a petition by Nawaz Sharif in the Supreme Court of Pakistan challenging Army’s action of Oct. 12, 1999, the present regime stated that 1997 election were manipulated by Muslim League, thus vindicating the specific allegation by PPP. Today almost all political parties and leaders including some Nawaz Sharif Muslim Leaguers are anxiously awaiting a move by Ms. Benazir Bhutto and PPP. for the restoration of democracy. It is Benazir Bhutto and PPP who can put the economy and social and organizational structure of Pakistan on rail again and ensure masses food, shelter, education and health care and open avenues for job opportunities to the young men of Pakistan. She will choose her own timing for forcing the Military Junta to retreat and hand over power back to the people of Pakistan.

SINDH HUNDU SABHA

SINDH HUNDU SABHA’S REPRESENTATION TO THE GOVERNOR OF BOMBAY ON THE SUBJECT OF “PLEADERS” SANADS. Karachi,3^rd September, 1909.

      “ MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCT,— On behalf of of the Sindh Hindu Sabha I beg to lay the following for your Excellency’s consideration.

       The public of Sindh have viewed with concern a rule among those recently promulgated by thr court of the Judicial Commissioner of Sindh with the sanction of Your Excellency’s Government, where by those who pass the Sindh Courts Pleaders’ Examination, the standard of which has been raised, the Old District Pleaders’ Examination having been abolished, and those who pass the LL.B of the university are to be granted, instead of former permanent Sanad, only a temporary Certificate renewable every year for five consecutive years.

      Hitherto the public looked up to legal practitioners, not only as member of a honouable profession, but also as men conspicuous for their independence of thought and action, men who have been always in the vanguard of all movements for the moral and material progress of the country, all reform, political, social, or industrial being due to their advocacy, initiate and example. Indeed, the members of this profession in every country where it exists, have proved to be the backbone of the nation.

     The rule in question, therefore, as keeping suspending over their heads the menace of the refusal of the re-grand of their Sanads at the end of every year, for a term of five years, in the event of their incurring the displeasure of the Judiciary, real or imaginary, will have the inevitable effect of laying on embargo on their independence, breeding in them habits of cringing and servility, weeking their moral fiber and acting as a set-back to their character.

    The Sabha is not aware of anything in the annals of the past which could have constituted the raison d’etre of this innovation. If the object of the rule is to operate as a deterrent upon the deviation of pleaders from the right rule of conduct in the practice of their profession, or in the discharge of their duties of citizenship, that object would be adequately served by the law alreadt in existence investing courts with disciplinary jurisdiction over pleaders who are liable to have their Sanads permanently withdrawn or suspended for a term according to the gravity of the offence.

    The rule in question, in the opinion of the Sabha, will serve no other purpose than the that of lowering the status of pleaders, bringing their profession to contempt in eyes of public, handicapping them in the independent and free performance of their duties to clients and limiting the scope of their general usefulness for which they have been hitherto distinguished.

    On behalf of the Sabha, I , therefore, pray that this rule be abrogated. – Herchandrai Vishindas, President, Sindh Hindu Sabha.

SINDH HINDU SABHA ON “REPRESENTATION”.



In 1909 Seth Harchandrai Vishindas, in capacity of the President of Sindh Hindu Sabha sent telegram to the Viceroy of India. It reads as follow: “ Sindh Hindu Sabha respectfully urges its protest against the extravagant and unwarranted demands of Muhammadans regarding representation in Reformed Legislative Council. Muhammadan assumption of superior political importance is unjustified.Other communities are in no way invancement to Muhammadans.Unequal representation demands by Muhammadans is likely to cause deep resentment among other communities and nullify the beneficial effect of the Reform Scheme”.

A Sindhi Muslim with pen name of G.N.A wrote letter to the editor of the Daily Gazette of Karachi and that was published in paper’s issue of 6^th October 1909. He wrote; “ Sir! It is but fair that while the long protest of the Sindh Hindu Sabha against Muhammadan representation in Sindh is being met with a proper answer in the proper quarter, a hint may laid before those who have naturally been fascinated by the superb periods of its composition. Both the columns of your print, which it has taken up to display itself come to this, that we Muhammadans ought to entertain no fear at all of votes among the District Boards, because we are in over whelming majority there. But the President has not troubled himself to get the figures. Will he admit that as an example of the condition of our electorate, Jacobabad is the most Muhammadan electorate in Sindh, and will he also recall to his mind that out of the total of 180 voters as many as 87 walked to the voting table at the last election, and that more than half i.e 45 votes were plumped for Professor Shahani. Professor Shahani had aldo a similar majority in the Larkana District were out of 133 recorded votes, he had 55 votes”.

On second day, rejoinder to this letter appeared in the same paper. In his strong-worded letter, Seth Harchandrai Vishindas wrote as follow: “ We will possess our souls in patience till ‘a proper answer in proper quarter’ forecast. By your correspondent G.N.A in your yesterday’s issue, sees the light. But if G.N.A is an advance sample of the logic of the impending answer, we may dismiss alarm like the Mulla pedagogue of the story who commanded his pupils to silence, on the approach of a visitor of portly mien, well-sized turban and venerable bread to avoid betrayal of his short comings in the presence of such unmistakable symptoms of learning, and then after hearing the visitor announces his cognomen, cried out READ AWAY BOYS. He is only a Joosib.

Your Correspondent says ‘ Both the columns at your print, which it (the Sabha memorial) has taken up to display itself come to this that we Muhammadans ought to entertain no fear at all of votes among the District Boards because we are in over whelming majority there’,. This is however, not all the memorial comes to. It implies that if Muhammadan demand any extra seat on the basis of the unsafty of the District Board seat, such a demand is too extravagant to be compiled with, the premises being false.

G.A.N further says ‘ But the President has not troubled himself to get at the figures’. It is true that I have not troubled about all the figures of the stars in the heavens, for instance, or of the hair on a man’s head. But I have troubled about the figures of the District Board members as anyone can see from the table of figures standing prominently in the middle of the Shaba’s memorial.

Your Correspondent’s jumbling of figures of the last election to the ‘landholders seat’ with the question of the District Board seat, the only question dwelt with by the Sabha and material for the consideration of the subject in hand, is hopelessly inconsequent. What the Jacobabad and larkana elections did at the ‘landholders’ election was not point at issue. But even there the electorate taken as a whole returned a Muhammadan although there was two Muhammadan six [Hindu?] candidates. The statement made without this complement is tainted as a half-truth.

M/S Bhurgri and Yousif Ali Bhai, the spokemen for Muhammadans have made no grievences of the landholders’s seat or its insecurity, as for as the published accounts ago. And the Sindh Sabha had advisedly differentiated between the case of landholders and District Boards, the former being a diffuse and unorganized body and latter a compact and select one”

4. The resolution passed at the Sind Assembly Programme Conference, referred to in my previous report, have been printed in pamphlet form and copies distributed by the local congress committee to its various sub-committees, panchayats and other organisations throughout the province.

According to Press reports Mr. Bhulabhai Desai M.L.A will preside at the Conference Muslims are being enrolled for the Conference in appreciable numbers. The success of the propaganda has been due to glowing accounts of the arrangements that are in progress. A novel method of approach to the Muslim masses is the presence in their mosques of Congress leaders preaching the Congress doctrine direct and also through Maulvis.[ Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th December 1937 Fortnightly report for the Second half on November 1937].

The attendance at the first session numbered about seven thousand persons, half of whom were Muslim, and included members of the Legislature and other prominent people. The second session on the following day had an audience of about three thousand which later dwindled to about one thousand, about half the number were passed dealing with subject referred to in my last report. A notable incident at the Conference was a conversation reported to have taken place between Mr. Desai and Saiyed Attaullah Shah Bukhari(an Ahrar leader) when the former is said to have advised the latter not to mix religion with politics, saying that he did not favour the Ahrar’s policy of making anti-Kadiant propaganda a plank in their political programme. Saiyed Bukhari agreed with Mr. Desai’s views regarding the anti-Kadiani attitude but added that the Muslim masses needed some religious stimulant, whereupon Mr. Desai suggested concentration on the Palestine questions. The congress circles are gratified with the success of the Conference, and propose to convene another such Conference in March 1938.

12. The closing fortnight of the year 1938 was comparatively quiet. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu arrived in Karachi on the 24th December and left the next day. She attended several public functions at which she urged opposition to Federation and advocated inter-communal unity, membership of the congress and the adoption of Hindi as the lingua franca of India. The province was also visited by Mr. Yousif Meherali, a prominent Socialist of Bombay, who during his stay, endeavoured to rouse interest in the congress movement. He deprecated any action that ultimately the congress would be bound to help the people of the States. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th January 1939 Fortnightly report for the second half on December 1938].

13. There was some agitation during the fortnight against the alleged persecution of Hindus in the Nizam’s Dominions and also against the atrocities alleged to have been perpetrated in Rajkot State. Meeting were held to create Hindu public opinion against the Stated and appeals were made for funds and for volunteers to be sent to the States to assist the “oppressed” subjects. At one meeting, Mr. R. K. Sidhwa, M.L.A, a local congress leader, remarked that “the All-India Congress would have to alter its decision not to intervene directly in States”. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th January 1939 Fortnightly report for the second half on December 1938].

14. Under the auspices of district congress committees “China Day” was celebrated at various places in the province before audiences varying form fifteen to three hundred, resolutions were passed sympathising with the Chinese appealing for funded in aid if Chinese sufferers and advocating the boy- cott of Japanese goods. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 21st January 1938 Fortnightly report for the Fast half of January 1938].

15. At the instance of the local congress committee, the Karachi Grocers Association have decided to boycott the importation of Zanzibar cloves until the Zanzibar Government makes terms with the Indians.

16. The event of the fortnight was the victory of the Congress candidates over the Hindu candidates in the Sukkur Central Rural General Constituency for the seat rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Bhojsing Pahlajani, late Speaker of the Sind Assembly. The great significance of the Congress victory lies in the fact that the Hindu candidates a brother of the late Speaker was backed by the entire Hindu Sabha organisation of Sukkur, which is one of the stronghold of the Sabha. Congress circles are naturally jubilant and look forward to more successes of the kind. Their recent victories in the Municipal elections in several parts of the province give them justifiable ground for their hopes. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/38, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 20th April 1938 Fortnightly report for the First half of April 1938].

55.

This League, together with the local Congress, the Congress Socialist- Party and Labour were more than usually active, carrying on street propaganda and agitation of a most pernicious nature, particularly among the labouring classes who were urged not to take any part in the war and to give no help to Government in this direction. Action under Rule 38 of the Defence of India Rules against some of the more virulent speakers had a sobering effect, and agitation thereafter was confined mainly to denouncing capitalism and the Sind Ministry, and urging India to take advantage of the present situation to press her claims for complete independence. Prosecutions under Rule 38 mentioned above have so far been confined to Karachi city and the local officers have been instructed not to use their powers under the Ordinance without the prior consent of Government.

Condemnation was also expressed of the proposal before Parliament to amend the Government of India Act, 1935, investing the Viceroy with power to taken over the entire control of the administration in India in the event of a war.

Congress activities were conducted on the usual lines, the public were urged to oppose the inauguration of Federation, the present Ministry were condemned for their alleged high-handedness and an appeal was made for the strengthening of the local Congress ranks in order to establish a Congress Ministry in this province. A Students’ Conference convened under Congress auspices at Sukkur was mainly pro-Wardha scheme propaganda and was hardly a success. The local Congress Forward Bloc have started a daily paper Known as the ” Qurbani” whose avowed policy is to create partriotism among Indians. Mr. Bhulabhai J. Desai, M.L.A.

62. The recently formed Congress Forward Bloc in the Province has been specially active during the fortnight and by means of intensive propaganda is gradually gaining popularity. The Congress Socialist group has joined hands with it against the Congress High Command, accusing the latter of adopting a dictatorial attitude and policy and of displaying facist tendencies. The visit to Sind of Master Motasingh Gopalsing, a Sikh communist of the Punjab, gave a fillip to the activities of the Bloc. His speeches embraced various topics such as prohibition and the Forward Bloc- of both of which causes he seemed to be an ardent advocate – imperialism and capitalism which he denounced in his view the state of unemployment in the country was due to exploitation by British imperialism – and finally he made an appeal to the Sikhs to join the Congress in order to secure their rights and to demand representation in the Karachi Municipality and the local Legislature. During his stay he also discussed with local Congressmen the question of setting up a Congress ministry in Sind, the possibility of such a contingency, however, seems remote at present. He took the opportunity also of addressing the Arya Samajists, urging them to join the Congress and expressing surprise that the Congress had not denouneed the new reforms introduced by the Nizam. A section of the press also urges Indians to hear Bose and follow his programme, which includes the non-participation of India in future wars and the inculcation of a revolutionary spirit in the country.

An emergent meeting of the Sind Council of the Sind Provincial Congress Committee was convened on the 21st October to which the Presidents of the District Congress Committees in Sind were invited. It seems that district-wide propaganda has been made to refuse help to the British in war. Meetings are being held in different villagers to this end. The Congress workers deliver speeches in which they tell villagers that India should not help the British Government in war until the demand of India is conceded. They also warned people to be ready for the next fight with Government. Even moderate opinion is on the side of the Congress while Bose and his bloc triumphantly say, ” We told you so”. Feeling on account of the Sukkur Manzilgah affair continued to be fostered by foul propaganda in the press. An anti-British tone is also apparent in some newspapers. The Provincial Press Adviser warned several newspapers for publishing matters contravening the provisions of the various press notices.

One speaker criticizing the Viceregal declaration said that it sprinkled salt on open wounds. There was nothing wise in it, and even a child would not make such a statement. Another speaker said that the Viceroy had invited such a statement. Another speakers said that the Viceroy had invited such persons for interview who if they contested an election would not get 10 votes.

76. The annual elections to the Sind Provincial Congress Committee gave rise to a good deal of excitement and the re-election on the governing body of the previous Honorary Secretary led to the Congress left-wing staging a walk-out from the meeting. These dissensions have caused a split in the local Congress ranks and have resulted in the formation of ‘Forward Bloc’ in Sind by sympathisers of Bose with Swami Govindanand -who has long been at loggerheads with the local Congress Command – as President of the new ‘Bloc’. The formation of this group is not viewed with favour generally among Congress circles as it is felt that the existence of the ‘Bloc’ as a separate group will be certain to divide and weaken the Congress, and on this account Bose himself has been condemned by some Congressmen for having originated the creation of the ‘Forward Bloc’ , while at the same time his action in resigning the Presidentship of the Congress High Command has been generally praised ‘as having saved the situation’. Bose himself is expected to tour Sind for a fortnight in September in connection with the new ‘Bloc’. “[Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 30th June 1939 Report on the political situation for May/June 15th].

91. The tone of the Congress meetings held during the fortnight has definitely worsened. The speeches delivered were not only anti-British but also contained anti-war propaganda. Feeling is gaining ground that a Civil Disobedience Movement is imminent. The following are samples of the statements made:-

“It is better to die in the cause of the freedom of India than on the battle fields of France in the cause of the freedom of India than on the battle fields of France in the cause of British Imperialism. India in a state of slavery cannot offer any assistance to the British”. Another speaker suggested the formation of Revolutionary Committee in villages to end British rule. ” The history of England is full of gory wars which have been fought by England every twenty years. These were fought not for the good of any country but for the strengthening of her Empire.” “If Hitler is fifty per cent badmash, the British are cent-per-cent badmashes. The present war is a war between dacoits, and the British have looted the whole world. If a revolution occurred in India and the British Government opened fire on Indians, Russia would surely come to the rescue.” [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 5th April 1940 Fortnightly report for the Second half of March 1940].

Sipahimalani was proposed for Secretaryship, but was not elected owing to the influence of Mr. Bechar. The Secretaryship has been kept in abeyance, in the hope that Mr. Bechar and Mr. Sipahimalani will shortly make up their differences. This however, seems hardly likely, and as mentioned in previous reports Mr. Bechar is evidently losing ground in the struggle for control of the various Unions in Karachi.

We believe that it does not possess so much strength as the cat does but it does not like to give up its hold on India”.

95.There was not much political activity during the fortnight under report. The main Congress activities were connected with the observance of Tilak Week. In all 22 meeting were organized by the Congress and the Forward Bloc and they were generally well attended. The Karachi District Satyagraha Committee held a public meeting in the Khalikdina Hall on the 1^st August which was attended by nearly 600 persons and was presided over by Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopstkar. M.L.A. The meeting began with the usual shouting of sologans, “Long Live Revolution”, “May India be free”, “Down with the Bureaucracy”, etc. A youth was heard shouting “Up up the National Flag. Down, down the Union jack”. Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar took strong exception to the presence of the C.I.D. reporters. He said that the C.I.D. men would be better employed if they concentrated on the task of catching dacoits and murderers. Sind spent lakhs of rupees on the C.I.D. It was a matter of sorrow that even after the introduction of provincial autonomy conditions had not improved in Sind. He then explained at length the sacrifices made by Tilak in the cause of Indian freedom and ended by saying “You have not unfurled the Congress flag to-day as free Indians. I hope when we celebrate the Taiak Week next year, we will unfurl the flag as free Indians.” At other places, speeches were made in a similar strain. A meeting of the Shikarpur Satyagraha Committee resolved to appoint a Congress Volunteer. Board of nine persons consisting of four members of the Satyagraha Committee, two representatives of the Hindu Pachayat and three members representing the Majlis-i-Ahrar, students and volunteers. Khan Bahadur. Allah Bakhsh, O.B.E., ex-Premier of Sind, has agreed to work on the Board. As it is necessary that a member of the Board must belong to some Congress Committee Khan Bahadur Allah Bakhsh is reported to have consented to join the Shikarpur Congress Satyagraha Committee. The Board proposes to enroll and train volunteers in accordance with instructions issued form the Provincial and All-India Congress Committees.

96.The main feature of the Congress activities during the Fortnight under report was the holding of a number of meetings to protest against the arrest of Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose. Such meeting were held at Karachi, Sukkur and Tando Adam in Nawabshah district, the latter being convened by the Forward Bloc and the two former by the local Congress Committees. The audience varied from 25 to 250 persons. The meeting at Karachi was held on the 6^th July at the Khalikdina Hall. Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar, M.L.A., presided. The meeting started with the usual slogans of “Long live revolution, Down with bureaucracy”, etc. etc. Resolution were passed condemning the action of the Bengal Government in arresting Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose and protesting against the arrest of Abdul Qadir Mewakhan, a labour worker, under the Defence of India. Act and the externment of Mr. Fatehraj Jethmal Prohit from Sind under the Foreigners’ Act. Addressing the audience, Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar remarked that the present ministry in Bengal was continuing as it supported European interests. British was fighting to preserve her prestige. Indians made great sacrifices in the last war and all that they got was Jallianwalla Bagh. British Imperialism was on its last legs and yet Britain would not free India. Mr. Gandhi called on the Viceroy four times and no decision has been arrived at. He remarked that the Congress workers were being put in jails. Many Indians are prepared to fill the jails, but there are not enough jails for them. Swami Govindanand, leader of the Sind Forward Bloc, spoke in the same strain. Mr. R.K. Sidhwa, M.L.A., ex-Mayor of Karachi remarked that it was the duty of the Bengal Government to remove the Holwell monument from its present site at Calcutta. He argued that the history of Black Hole was a fiction and quoted with approbation the example of the Punjab Government which had removed the sword from the Lawrence statue at Lahore, and that of the Madras Government which had removed a similar monument to a museum. Mr. Aziz-ur-Rehman Habib-ur-Rehman of Ludhiana that they should make India free. If they are given unconditional freedom they will uproot Nazism and Facism. The revolution which was destined to come and it cannot be stopped. Kazi Muhammad Mujtaba said that it was not merely the question of the arrest of Mr.Bose, but of numerousleaders in other provinces. Mr. Bose was opposed to compromise, He did not want any compromise with British Imperialism. The Sind Trade Union Congress and the Forward Bloc held a joint meeting in Karachi on the 10^th instant, which was attended by about 300 persons and presided over by Mr. N.A Bechar, M.L.A. Resolutions were passed condemning the arrest of Mr. Bose and the crushing of civil liberties in India and congratulating the Chinese on their struggle.

97. The main efforts of the Congress have been directed towards the consolidation of the Satyagraha Committees which have been formed in various places. The Secretary of the Sind Supreme Satyagrah Council, Karachi, Mr. Parsram Vishansingh Tahilramani, has called for reports from the various Congress Committees before 31^st May, to ascertain the numbers of volunteers who have signed the Satyagraha pledge, the progress made in the sale of ‘Khadi’ and the preparations for Satyagraha, and the reactions of Muslims to the Satyagraha sheme. It was mentioned in my last report that Government had suspended the Municipal resolution sanctioning the lease of a site for a Satyagraha camp. The Mayor of Karachi, who is President of the local Congress Committee, requested Government to re-consider this decision: but on this being refused, the order was obeyed and one camp has since been opened on another site, after several vain attempts to persuade one of the All-India Congress leaders to come and perform the opening ceremony.[Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

98. A public meeting of the Satyagraha Committee was held at Larkana and attended by about eight hundred persons. Prof. Ghanshyam Jethanand, M.L.A., presided, and there were speakers from the neighbouring districts. The meeting condemned the Pakistan scheme sponsored by the Muslim League and criticised the British Government for adopting an anti-democratic attitude in India. The meeting reiterated the resolutions of the Ramgarh Congress session,while condemning Germany for her aggression against European countries. Congress meeting were held at Kandhkot, upper Sind frontier, Sukkur and Mahbat Dero Jatoi in Nawabshah district, but the audiences were small. The main trend of discussion at these meeting was that the policy of England towards India was inconsistent with her war aims.[Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th June 1940. Fortnightly Report for the second half of May1940].

99. The speeches delivered at Congress meeting during the fortnight under review were, if anything, worse than those delivered during the last fortnight, and it seems that very serious preparations are being made by Congressmen to enrol volunteers, to form War Councils and in general to keep themselves in readiness for a mass Civil Disobedience Movement. A Satyagraha Committee of sixteen members has been formed under instruction received from the General Secretary of the All -India Congress Committee. The main object of this so called War Council is to enlist volunteers who are ready to go jail. A weekly progress report of the War Council will be submitted to the General Secretary of the All-India Congress Committee. It has been decided to organize volunteer Satyagrah camp in various part of Karachi to enlist volunteers and to carry on propaganda. It is learnt that Congress leaders are preparing to tour Sind in order enrol volunteers for a Satyagraha movement, if started. Having their hands full with for the coming struggle the local Congress Committee have decided not to put up candidates for the ensuring Karachi Municipal Corporation elections. On the other hand, the response at public meetings to the call for volunteers seems to have been very poor, while meetings organised by the Forward Bloc aroused no interest whatever.

100. In spite of this activity, squabbles among Congressmen continue. At a private meeting of the District Congress Committee, Karachi, it was proposed to take disciplinary action against Mr. Naraindas Anandji Bechar, M.L.A., for not voting with the Congress in the Sind Legislative Assembly, but it was not proceeded with as it was pointed out by the President that no question of disciplinary action could arise as Mr. Bechar was elected on a non-Congress ticket. Professor Ghashyam Jethanand, M.L.A., having resigned his leadership of the Sind Assembly Congress Party, Mr. R.K. Sidhwa and Dr. Popatlal A Bhoopatkar have been elected as Leader and Secretary respectively. Many protests have been made their election. The Secretary of the Old Town Congress Committee, Karachi, made serious allegations against a member of failure to render account of members enlisted and subscriptions collected. An enquiry committee has been appointed as this person had misappropriated Congress funds on a previous occasion also. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

101. The National Week was celebrated throughout Sind from 6th to 13th April 1940, and the opportunity thus afforded was taken to make speeches which were strongly anti-British besides being anti-war. At one such meeting a speaker remarked that National Week had an added significance this year as they were on the brink of a struggle. He deprecated the suggestion that Indians were bargaining with Government =, as what they wanted was only their right and the acknowledgment of the same principle for which Englishmen themselves were fighting the Germans. References to Jallianwala Bagh were of course frequent, and the usual arguments advanced that India was not interested in the war and had nothing to gain out of it.

102. The Karachi District Congress Committee is interesting itself in the agitation against the increase in the rates of Bus and Tram fares by the East India Tramways Company, Karachi, and has held public meetings on the subject. Mr. Muhammad Amin Khoso, M.L.A., speaking at one of these meetings, said that if the Company did not reduce the fares to pre-war level, the public should boycott the tram services. Mr. Abdul Qayum Khan, M.L.A., (Central), made an anti-British speech at this meeting and siad that he was not prepared to call him a Muslim who was afraid of Hindu dominance, and requested the Muslims not to be afraid of Hindu domination, but to help in creating an atmosphere of goodwill among the various communities.

103. Under the auspices of the Lyari Ward Congress Committee, a public meeting was held at Chakiwara, where Mr. Abdul Khaliq deplored the miserable condition of the Lyari Quarter Muslims and eulogised Russia saying that Government on Soviet lines would be benificial for the Indian masses. Another speaker said that the English had now realised that they were to remain in India for only a few days would have to leave the country, and hence they were intensifying their method of “divide and rule” Mr.Abdul Qayum Khan, M.L.A., (Central), also made an anti-British speech at this meeting, remarking that the communal disturbances in this country were due to alien rule and that the British had usurped the freedom of the Muslims in Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Palestine.

104. The Karachi District Political Conference, which ended on the 14th January and was briefly referred to in my last report, was not particularly success full-the local people of Tatta not having attended it in very large numbers. The Muslim Vice-Chairman of the Reception Committee, who had undertaken the arrangements for the boarding and lodging of the Muslim visitors to the Conference, not only failed to make arrangements but also absented himself from the Conference. A majority of influential Hindus and Muslims in Tatta also did not attend. The tone of the speeches was generally anti-British. A Khadi Bhandar was erected, but the proceeds of goods sold did not exceed Rs.10. The Conference, however, did not lack pomp as the presidential chariot was drawn by forty bullocks. No women participated in the procession. A noteworthy feature of the procession was an attempt to give prominence to Muslim leaders, who were made to sit either in the chariot or in cars, in order to attract Muslims to the Conference. This attempt, however, did not succeed as Moulvi Obeidullah Sindhi, who performed the opening ceremony, made several anti-Hindu remarks in his speech which were resented by the Congress leaders sitting on the dais. Many a time he was urged to cut his speech short as he had occupied more time than was allotted to him, and Mr.Abdul Qayum Khan, who was also to address the Conference, had to catch the Punjab Mail that night, but Obeidullah continued his address in spite of protests, indulging in self-praise.Another speaker alleged that India was not to remain in the hands of the British any longer, ad that if the Muslims did not participate in the struggle for freedom, coming generations would curse them. The same speakers said that many Muslims had gone to jail during the Civil Disobedience Movement in the past-the number alleged being 15,000-and that Muslim should not think that they would be swallowed up by the Hindus as it was impossible to do so – the Indian Muslim population being nine crores and their geographical position being safe. The speaker then critimine crores and their geographical position being safe. The speaker then criticised Mr. M.A. Jinnah and the “Deliverance Day” Dr. Choithram P. Gidwani, M.L.A., warned the British that if they did not give a clear decision regarding the future of India before the Ramgarh Congress Sessions, the Congress would have to lunch a big satyagraha sruggle, which would end the British dominion in India. In passing, he remarked that 95 per cent. of Muslims in the North-West Frontier Province would lay down their lives for the Congress cause and urged his audiences to be prepared for the call.

105. ” Independence Day” was celebrated in various placed in Sind and processions were taken out. It appears that the Bose party is daily gaining ground as it promises greater excitement than anything the Rightists have to offer. At several meetings sympathisers with Bose showed their dislike of the new clauses in the Independence pledge relating to spinning, etc. During the celebrations one speaker remarked that after the “Independence Day” all Congressmen should be ready for Civil Disobedience as soon as the Congress issued such a mandate, remarking that he would be the first to go to jail.

Instruction have been give to them in the use of air guns. The Gothani Fouj held a camp at Hyderabad and carried out their usual parades, marching drill and physical exercises.

At Karachi a meeting of the Municipal Corporation fixed for the 3rd December was adjourned as a protest against the arrests.

108. The most important political event of the week was the reshuffling of the Ministry due to the intervention of Moulana Abdul Azad. So far the only result has been the resignation of Mr. G.M. Sayed, a Moslem Leaguer, and his replacement by the Hon’ble Khan Bahadur Allah Bakhsh. The Hon’ble Khan Bahadur allah Bakhsh belongs to the Azad Muslim Party and his inclusion in the Ministry has been welcomed by the Congress and by some members of the Hindu Party but not in Muslim League circles. Together with the change in the Ministry, an Advisory Committee of sixteen Members of the Legislative Assembly has been formed, including all the Honourable Ministers, to advise the Cabinet on matters of policy and legislation. Mr. G.M, Sayed has been appointed Secretary of this Committee. The Sind Legislative Assembly met on the 27th November for the first time since the last Budget Session and is now in session. It is reported that the Congress leaders of the Province have been instructed by Moulana Abdul Kalam Azad not to Participate in the present Satyagraha movement until such time as condition in the Province improve. A procession of about 300 students was taken out and a meeting was held observe Anti-Repression Day on the 10th November. Resolution were adopted condemning the acts under which persons striving to free India were being sent to prison and also condemning the action taken by the Madras Government in “terrorising the students” No particular political activity was visible elsewhere in the Province.

109. Political activities during the fortnight consisted mainly of the holding of meeting by the Congress at various places Jawharlal Nehru. Indignation was expressed at the imprisonment of Nehru and congratulations were bestowed upon Nehru Vinobha Bhave and Moulana Ahmed sayeed on having been arrested “for working for the liberation of their country”. Hartals, not on a large scale, were observed in Karachi on the 1st and 2nd November to protest against the arrest of Nehru. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

110. Congress circle also condemned the present state of lawlessness in Sind which, in their opinion, is due to the party system in the local Assembly and several anti-Ministerial speeches were made at their meetings. The restrictions on the press imposed by the prohibitory order under Rule 41 (I) (b) of the Defence of India Rules also came in for a good deal of adverse criticism at Congress meetings, it being contended that the lack of news was likely to create a serious situation owing to the possible spread of false rumours.

111. The reports of these murders threw all other news in the background and the arrest of Vinoba Bhave attracted little attention. The Karachi District Congress Committee held a public meeting on the 24th October, which was attended by about 300 persons and presided over by Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopstkar, M.L.A. Resolutions were passed condemning the murders of Hindus in Sind, particularly the murders in Jahanpur, sympathising with the relative of the victims, showing alarm at the growth of lawlessness and denouncing Government for its failure to maintain law and order. Dr. Popatal in the course of his speech remarked that although the authorities promised to take active steps to maintain peace and order and to call a session of the Legislative Assembly yet neither of the promises had been fulfilled. He stated that the promise give by the Congress Assembly Party not to overthrow the present Ministry should now be considered as null and void. Mr. R.K. Sidhwa, M.L.A., in the course of his speech remarked that he had suggested to the Hon’ble Ministers that they should call the Inspector – General of Police and tell him that he would be removed from office if murders did not stop in Sukkur District within a fortnight, but Minister were not prepared to do that. He referred to the murders in Jahanpur and deplored that the Ministry had issued no ‘communique’ in the matter. The Hon’ble Premier has, however, issued a statement to the press. Moulana Abul Kalam Azad is expected to visit Sind shortly to decide what course of action should be adopted by the Congress Party. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 6th November 1940. Fortnightly Report for the Second half of October 1940].

112. The Indian Merchants Association and Indian Cotton Merchants Association suspended business on the afternoon of the 21st October as a result of the arrest of Vinoba Bhave. The Karachi Municipal Corporation also passed an adjournment motion. The Sind Provincial Congress Committee met under the chairmanship of Dr. Choithram P. Gidwani, M.L.A., to discuss the present political situation in India. The lists of persons who had promised to offer ‘satyagraha’ were scrutinised. The Committee decided to send volunteers to various districts to prepare the ground for the impending ‘satyagraha’. The Satyagraha Committee, Larkana, held a meeting on the 25th October, attended by about 1,000 persons, as a protest against the arrest of four ‘satyagrahis’ of Larkana under the Defence of India Rules. Dr. Cgoithram P. Gidwani, Chairman of the Provincial Congress Committee, seems to be exercised about the report of Mr. Abdul Qayyum, M.L.A.(Central), who was appointed by the Congress High Commend to enquire into the causes of the Sukkur riots. In a private letter to Mr. Abdul Qayyum, Dr. Choithram has denounced his report in strong terms and protested against his remarks about the Congress in Sind. He states that the report contains “wrong and unjustified conclusions and mis-statements of facts”. The report has yet been made public, but it is learnt that it is not complimentary to the Congress in Sind. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

113. About a dozen Congress meetings were held in various parts f the Province with audiences numbering from 50 to 500 persons. In all these meetings the speakers condemned the Viceregal statement, accused the British Government of refusing to concede the just demands of Indians and suggested that people should be prepared to court arrest. It was also observed that Indians should not give held to the British Government in this war. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

114. Congress activities consisted mainly of meeting in connection with Gandhi-Jayanti Week. During the week thirty-nine public meetings were held in different parts of the province where the audiences varied from 200 to 1,500 persons. One of the Karachi meetings was addressed by Mr. Asaf Ali, M.L.A.(Central), who, in the course of his speech, observed that in the last war Indians gave 400 crores of rupees, 14 lakhs of Indians were enrolled in the Army and 9 lakhs of animals were supplied by India for transport purposes, and all that India got was the Constitution of 1919, which did not even grant autonomy to the Provinces. He, however, advised the people to respect the law and the police. Dr. Choithram P. Gidwani, President of the Provincial Congress Committee, and Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar, M.L.A., President of the Karachi Congress Committee, attended most of these meetings and made speeches in the usual strain. It was stated that India could not help any county in war as it would be helping violence which was contrary to the creed of Mahatma Gandhi.

115. One of the Congress meeting was attended by the ex-Premier, Khan Bahadur Allah Bakhsh, O.B.E., M.L.A., who has stated in a recent interview to the press that the only solution for the political ills of the Province would be a union of the Congress and the Nationalist Muslims in the Sind Assembly. Mr. R.K. Sidhwa, M.L.A., leader of the Congress Assembly Party, has ex-pressed his approval of the statement of the ex-Premier, but suggests that the Nationalist Muslims should take the initiative in the matter.

116. Congress activities during the fortnight were mainly confined to the holding of meeting o the 1st of September in pursuance of the appeal issued by the All-India Congress Committee. A public meeting was organised in Karachi at the Rambagh Recreation Ground which was attended by about six hundred persons. Portraits of Stalin, Marx and Lenin and placards bearing the following inscription were displayed on the dais: “We condemn and reject the Viceroy’s announcement”. The usual slogans were raised. Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar, M.L.A., in his speech observed that the meeting was organised to express disapprobation of the announcement of His Excellency the Viceroy He discussed the various attempts made by Mr. Gandhi to meet the wishes of the Viceroy, which however, did not bear fruit. He said that it was a pity that Indians remained hungry and poorly clad in spite of the immense quantity of grain and cotton produced in the country. The British agreed with Hitler to take a plebiscite in Rhineland. The Viceroy should also take a plebiscite in India. He exhorted the people to show before the Working Committee meets that they were ready and would not be satisfied without attaining Swaraj Dr. Choithram P. Gidwani, Mr. Lalji Mahrotra, Mayor of Karachi, and Mr. R.K. Sidhwa, M.L.A., ex-Mayor, also spoke in the same strain. Meetings were also organised by the Satyagraha Committee of Larkana, Ratodero, Kambar and Nasirabad in Larkana district on the 1st of September. At all these places processions of Hindus were taken out attended by about 100 to 300 persons, who sang national songs and shouted slogans. The processions were followed by public meetings which the resolution passed by the All-India Congress Committee was re-affirmed.

117. On 9^th March a rumour was afloat that the political situation in Sind had again undergone a dramatic change following Sardar Vallabhai Patel’s instructions to the Congress Party, to help in maintaining the status quo in Sind until after the Ramgarh Sessions of the Congress, hinting thereby that no attempt should be made to defeat the Allah Bakhsh Ministry in the meantime. Later on it was understood, however, that Sardar Patel telephoned to Dr. Choithram P.Gidvani, M.L.A., countermanding these instructions and giving the Congress Party freedom to act as local conditions demanded.

118. On 11^th the March the Congress Party proposed an adjournment of the Assembly in order to enable members to attend the Ramgarh Congress. This could not be agreed to as it might have delayed the passage of the Budget beyond the close of the financial year.

  Part:2

1.Congress activities at present are in the main confined to the holding of meetings, but on the whole these meetings are but poorly attended and there is some feeling that it is difficult to maintain public interest in Congress affairs in the absence of permission to indulge in ‘satyagraha’. Swami Govindanand, leader of the Forward Bloc, gas stated that the Forward Bloc can no longer function in view of the disappearance of Mr.Subhas Chandra Bose. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 4th April 1941 Fortnightly report for the Second half of March1941].

2. A deputation of Congressmen is to leave shortly for Wardha to seek permission from Mahatma Gandhi to start ‘satyagraha’ in this province. A Sind Provincial Azad Muslim Party has been formed by the Hon’ble Illahi Bakhsh, Minister of Education. They party will consist of nationalist Muslims and will oppose the Muslims League. The party proposes to start a Sindhi daily paper. Master Tarasingh, the well known Sikh leader from Amritsar, has been to Karachi to preside over an Akali Conference and the addressed meetings of Sikhs in which he attacked the Muslims League and ridiculed the Pakistan idea. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 21st April 1941 Fortnightly report for the First half of April 1941].

3. There have been no Congress activities worthy of notice. The Arya Samaj celebrated their Golden Jubilee at Sukkur. The speeches were more religious than political. A resolution was passed urging upon the Government to introduce schools and to give grants-in-aid to private Schools teaching Hindi. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 19th May 1941 Fortnightly report for the First half of May 1941].

4.The deputation of Congressmen who interviewed Mahatma Gandhi in Wardha were refused permission to start ‘satyagraha’ in this province. They were advised to concentrate on constructive work. Congress observed Jallianwala Bagh Day on the 13th April. Mass meetings were held in Karachi and Hyderabad, in which anti-British and objectionable speeches were made. At Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas, large pictures depicting in a lurid manner the Jallianwala Bagh incident were prominently in processions. Dr. Popatlal A Bhoopatkar, M,L.A., speaking at Karachi, remarked that although Indians were unable to take for the Jallianwala Bagh the death grip in which the British were involved at present was a retribution for the Indian blood that was shed at jallianwala Bagh. Another speaker stated that events like Jaillianwala Bagh are to be welcomed, the Indian people and prepared them for sacrifices. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd May 1941 Fortnightly report for the Second half of April 1941].

5.Congress propaganda is more or less at a stand-still. The Sind Provincial Congress Committee has decided to abolish the Sind Supreme Satyagraha Council in view of the remote possibility of ‘satyagraha’ being allowed in Sind. It is expected that other ‘satyagraha’ committees will similarly be liquidated. It is remoured that Mahatma Gandhi may visit Sind with a view to stimulate propaganda for Hindu-Muslim unity.[Source Government of Sin. Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 4th June 1941. Fortnightly report for the Second half of May 1941].

6. Congress has not been very active. The usual Flag Salutation ceremonies were performed at Hyderabad, where an effort is being made to bring about Hindu-Muslim unity and do village uplift work. The Hyderabad Congress Committee Corporation to lend flags and buntings, etc., required for the Karachi War Week Fete free of change. The Congress members or the Legislative Assembly seem to be much concerned with the increasing association of the public in the war effort and there are differences of opinion among them on the question whether they should resign or not from the Legislative Assembly and local bodies. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 6^th September 1941, Fortnightly Report for the Second Half of August 1941].

7. In a few Congress meetings held in the fortnight under report stress was laid on the Congress constructive programme, particularly Hindu-Muslim unity. Congressmen, as a whole seem to be exercised over the increased war effort in the mofussil. It is understood that Professor Ghanshyam Jethanand, M.L.A., has sent his resignation from the Sind Legislative Assembly through the Sind Provincial Congress Committee as a mark of protest against the action of the Government in permitting local bodies to give contribution to the war funds. It is also understood that Messrs, Parsram Tahilram and Lalji Mehrotra (the latter an ex-Mayor of Karachi) have sent in their resignations from the Corporation to the All-India Congress Committee for approval and transmission to the Mayor of Karachi, as a result of the decision of the Karachi Municipal Corporation to give flags and buntings free for the Karachi War Fet. The Muslim League is jubilant over the resignation of Sir Sikandar Hayat khan and Sir Muhammad Saadullah from the National Defence Council and resolutions were passed at public meetings held in Karachi and Larkana expressing full confidence in Mr. Jinnah and congratulating Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan and Sir Muhammad Saadullah and Nawab of chhatari on their resignations from the National Defence Council. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 22^ndSeptember 1941, Fortnightly Report for the Second Half of September 1941].

8. Five public meetings mostly attended by students were held. Speeches eulogising the services of Mahatma Gandhi were made. Dr Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar, M.L.A., speaking at one of the meetings, remarked that the British Government had created Hindu Muslim disorders by introducing separate electorates and communal ratios in the services. A Congress Conference was held at Khanpur, Shaikarpur Taluka, Sukkur district, on the 10^th and 11^th September under the chairmanship of Dr. Gobindram Punjabi. It was attended by about 500 persons on each day. The main speaker was Mr.C.T.Valecha, M.L.A., who indulged in some anti-British remarks and said that India was being unnecessarily dragged into the war. Resolutions were passed requesting Government to control the abnormal rise in the prices of foodstuffs and other articles and to grant more gun licences to the villagers and deploring the alleged attitude of the British Government in not paying heed to the welfare of the Indian people. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 6^thOctober 1941, Fortnightly Report for the Second Half of September 1941]

10. The Congressmen, who proposed to resign from the Karachi Municipal Corporation as a result of the decision of the Corporation to give flags and bunting free to the Karachi War Fete, have been told that the matter was too trivial to be made an issue for resignation. As a result of the meeting of Mahatma Gandhi and the Honourable Premier, the Congress Party has been directed to continue to give support to the present Ministry. There seems to be no desire on the part of the Congressmen to disregard these instructions most probably because Congress is not prepared to allow the formation of a Muslim League Ministry, the only alternative to the present one. The Honourable Premier left Karachi on the 30^th September for Allahabad, where he is to see Moulana Abdul Kalam Azad in the Naini Jail before proceeding to attend the meeting of the National Defence Council.

11. Which consisted of thirty three Congress meetings, a number of ‘prabhat pheris’ and processions has given an impetus to congress propaganda in the province. The presence at some of the meetings of Dr. Choithram P. Gidwani, President of the Sind Provincial congress committee, Hashoo T. Kewalramani and other Congressmen, who were undergoing sentences under the Defence of India Rules and have been recently released, led to an outburst of anti-British feelings. Dr. Choithram declared that he was anxious to see the end of British rule in the same way as the British wanted to see the and of Hitler, Swami Krishnanand, leader of the Forward Bloc, in one of the public meetings convened the celebrate “Gandhi Jayanti” dubbed all those who gave help to Britain in this war as “Shaitans”. Mr. R.K. Sidhwe remarked that the British had entered Iran with Imperialistic motives. Dr. Choithram P. Gidvani is touring the province addressing public meetings. He has been expressing regret at the decision of Mahatma Gandhi to exclude Sind from the pale of Satyagraha. The students of Karachi held a public meeting to congratulate Hashu T. Kewalramani and Kazi Mujtaba, the former on his premature release and the latter on the removal of the order restricting him to a village in the Karachi District. Speeches were made exhorting the students to line up with anti-Imperialistic forces, and to foster Hindu-Muslim unity. The Sind Assembly Congress Party met recently and approved of the decision of the All-India Congress Parliamentary Board and Mahatma Gandhi to continue support to the present Ministry, in spite of the fact that the Premier continues to be a member of the National Defence Council. It disapproved the action of Mr. R.K.Sidhwa in accompanying the Hon’ble Premier to Wardha without consulting the members of the party and it is understood that Mr. Sidhwa has apologised. It also passed resolutions expressing satisfaction at the application of the Jagirdari Act to the whole of the Province and urging Government to grant immediate relief to the people of Rohri Division whose crops have failed owing to water deficiency. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 17^thOctober 1941, Fortnightly Report for the First Half of October 1941].

12. Congress has not been very active. The usual Flag salutation ceremonies were performed at Hyderabad, where an effort is being made to bring about Hindu-Muslim unity and do village uplift work. The Hyderabad Congress Committee Corporation to lend flags and buntings, etc., required for the Karachi War Week Fete free of change. The Congress members of the Legislative Assembly seem to be much concerned with the increasing association of the public in the war effort and there are differences of opinion among them on the question whether they should resign or not from the Legislative Assembly and local bodies. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 6^thSeptember 1941, Fortnightly Report for the Second Half of August 1941].

13. A number of Congress meetings were held in the province in connection with the Tilak Week, which was observed between the 27th July and 1st August. The audiences were manly composed of Hindus. At some of these meetings the speakers indulged in anti-British and anti-war-remarks. Swami Krishnanand, while speaking in Karachi, deprecated the present inactivity on the part of the leaders and the policy of Mahatma Gandhi. He asserted that India would never obtain Swaraj unless she embarrassed the British Government. He added that non-violence could never bring about the freedom of any country. Another speaker referred to an article of professor Harold Laski in the “National Herald” and commended hid observations that this war was being fought for world domination between two Imperialisms. Tributes were paid to the part played by the late. Mr. Tilak in the cause of Indian freedom and it was observed that he was the first Indian leader to realise that freedom for this country could be achieved only by suffering and not by clamouring for a few jobs and offices. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 20^th August 1941, Fortnightly Report for the First Half of August 1941].



14. Concerning the Congress there is nothing of interest to report. The Sind Muslim League intends to hold a conference at Hyderabad in September 1941, and it is proposed to ask the Honourable Sir Sikandar Hyat Khan to preside. The League received the Government decision to ban the conference at Sakrand in the Nawabshah district with some resentment and Mr. M.A. Jinnah sent a wire to His Excellency the Governor asking for his intervention. In view of the large numbers of cholera cases in the neighbouring districts of Larkana, Dadu, and Sukkur and of the fact that cases were occurring in the Nawabshah district itself, it would have been most inadvisable to allow the conference to be held. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 19^th July 1941, Fortnightly Report for the First Half of July 1941].

15. Congress propaganda included the usual Flag Salutation ceremonies and a few meetings. Mahatma Ganhdi is understood to have issued instructions to the Provincial Congress Committee that the principles of non-violence must be strictly followed even in the event of Congress members being attacked by dacoits, in pursuance of these instructions, peace Brigades have been formed. Apart from the most fervent followers of Mahatma Gandhi, the people of the province, however, are very sceptical of the efficacy of non-violence. The Hindus particularly are insistent in their demands for more gun licences.

KHAKSAR TAHRIK

KHAKSAR TAHRIK

[History of Khaksar Movement in Sindh (1937-1947) as has been recorded and reported by the Government of Sindh. It consists of ‘secret reports’ sent by the Home Department of the Sindh Government sent to the Government of India. Every entry carries reference at its end-Dr.Pathan].

Part-1.

1. The Khaksar movement is gaining ground in almost all districts of the Province. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 5th October 1939 Fortnightly report for the Second half of September 1939].

2. There has been considerable among the Khaksars of the Province, the new members being Mr. M.H. Gazdar, M.L.A. Speeches have been delivered and parades help where the attitude of the United Provinces Government towards Khaksars has been severely criticised. Jathas are in readiness to be sent to Lucknow either direct or by way of Lahore and Delhi. It is reported that one jutha has already left Karachi for Lucknow. The Sind Khaksars are very sore over the arrest of Inayatallah Khan Mashraqi and others at Lucknow. The jatha which left Karachi included four men of whom it is reported that they wrote their applications for inclusion in the jatha in their own blood. Attempts are being made by responsible leaders to prevent the despatch of any more jathas to Lucknow, and the cost of the journey is itself a serious obstacle, as each volunteer has to bear his own expenses. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 5th October 1939 Fortnightly report for the Second half of September 1939].

3. The Khaksar movement continues to grow in intensity – meetings having been held at most places in the Province where speeches were made criticising the United Provinces Government for imposing restrictions on the activities of the Khaksars and also Congress as it had no desire to help Muslims in India. The Khaksars were called upon to be ready to proceed to the United Provinces if required. Speeches delivered during the fortnight by Khaksar leaders showed a distinct turn for the worse so far as Hindus were concerned. Time and again it was alleged that the United Provinces Government was responsible for the Sunni-Shiah trouble in Lucknow, that the Congress was representative of the Hindus and not of Muslims, and that the Congress have always been trying to crush the Muslims. They also alleged that the congress thought that there were only two powers in India, Congress and the British, and that the nine crores of Muslims were disregarded. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 17th October 1939 Fortnightly report for the First half of October 1939].

4. Isolated batches of Khaksars continue to go to Lucknow to ofter satyagraha and some of them go in disguise in order to escape detection. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 17th October 1939 Fortnightly report for the First half of October 1939].

5. The khaksaran movement has been gradually spreading in the province and there was a spate of Khaksar activities during the fortnight. Several rallies, which included the usual parades and sham fights, were held at various places on the 1st and 2nd July. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 17th July 1939 Fortnightly report for the First half of July 1939]

6. Batches of Khaksars continued to go to the United Provinces during the fortnight under report, but news has reached Sind that no more Sindhi Khuksars are wanted in the United Provinces because they come inadequately provided with funds. Signs of a reaction in this province are also noticed from the fact that anti-Khaksar speeches are now being made. On the 18th October a strong anti-Khaksar speeches was made in Thar Parkar district when the speaker said that the founder of the Khaksar movement had stated that Muslims, in reality, were the followers of Christ. Another meeting held on the 17th Octoberpassed resolution corrdemning the Khaksar movement. However meetings continue to be held in which the anti-Khaksar attitude of the United Provinces Government is being criticized. The khaksaran movement has been gradually spreading in the province and there was a spate of Khaksar activities during the fortnight. Several rallies, which included the usual parades and sham fights, were held at various places on the 1st and 2nd July. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd November 1939 Fortnightly report for the Second half of October 1939].

7. A tendency is noticeable among the Hindus of Sind to organize themselves on Khaksar lines. Batches of small volunteers associations are continually being formed for the defence of Hindu rights and property. These young men also parade the streets and some of them have asopted a grey uniform. One such association applied to the District Magistrate of Hyderabad for permission to carry spears, which was refused. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd November 1939 Fortnightly report for the Second half of October 1939].

8. Khaksars activities are at a low ebb. Except for their holding a camp at Jhudo, Thar Parkar District, on the 8th December no other Khaksars activity has come to notice. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 22nd December 1939 Fortnightly report for the First half of December 1939].

9. Khaksar activity has again come to notice during the fortnight under report – particularly in Hyderabad District =, which seems to be their stronghold in Sind. The Magistrate of that district reported that they were becoming increasingly provocative, but details of the provocation given are lacking. About sixty Khaksars paraded during the fortnight under report at the Idgah Maidan at Karachi, but it seems that the idea of a camp, which it was proposed to hold there during December, has been abandoned. In Hyderabad the Khaksars have divided themselves into eight sub-divisions, each under a captain. The Central Office has been placed under three commanders – viz., Camp Commander, Office Commander and Propaganda Commander Several Khaksar parades were held in Hyderabad, while small batches in their respective beats. . [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 13th January 1940 Fortnightly report for the Second half of December 1939].

10. Khaksars activities were not particularly noticeable during the fortnight Thirty Karachi Khaksars went to Keamari, and were addressed by Moulvi Muhammad Usif, who congratulated then on their success in the United Provinces. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 18th January 1940 Fortnightly report for the First half of January 1940].

11. Khaksar activities continue in a quiet way. The Khaksars of Karachi held a parade on the Idgah Maidan under the leadership of Muhammad Ismail. They were asked to muster strong at the railway station, Karachi, on the 25th to meet Muhammad Akram Khan, Chief Salar for Sind. An interesting ceremony was held at Hyderabad when a salute of honour was presented by the Khaksars to Dr. Sachanand of the Henderson Blind Relief Association. The usual parades and enlistment propaganda were carried on during the fortnight under report, the Khaksar band being in attendance. Almost daily marches were held in Hyderabad City, and parades at Karachi, Hyderabad, Lankana and Jacobabad. Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 4th March 1940 Fortnightly report for the Second half of February 1940].

12. There was considerable activity among the Khaksars of Karachi on account of the visit of the Chief Salar for Sind and, also on account of the firing at Lahore. Muhammad Akram Jalis at a meeting on the Idagah, held to protest against the action of the Punjab Government, informed the audience of the Lahore firing and severely criticised the Punjab Ministry. He said that it was no new thing for Islam to suffer at the hands of Muslims, and that the Khaksars had no grievance against the British or any other community in India. He assured Government that Khaksar movement was a religious and peaceful one and did not lend support to any political party. The meeting ended with prayers for the souls of those Khaksars who were killed at Lahore. The leader of the Shikarpur Khaksars is said to have been greatly agitated at the firing in Lahore and has informed the Chief Salar in Sind that the Khaksars of Shikarpur and Sukkur were ready for action and were awaiting instructions. Another Khaksar leader drew attention to the use of tear gas having facilitated the arrests of Khaksars, and to the necessity of offering themselves for arrest in large numbers. It seems however that instruction regarding the future programme are awaited from Head Quarters, and no extra-provincial activity by Sind Khaksars has yet come to notice. The District Magistrate, Hyderabad, was personally assured by the leaders there that did not intend to participate in the Punjab agitation. A camp, which it was intended to hold in that district, has been postponed. Khaksar parades were, however, held at many places, and at a meeting at the Sir Leslie Wilson Muslim Hostel, Karachi, the Chief Salar urged students to join the Khaksar movement… Meanwhile an anti-Khaksar movement has been organized. Fatwas issued by the Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind against Inayatullah Khan Mashraqi were explained to Muslim in various mosques in Karachi. At a Muslim meeting at Larkana the Khaksar movement was criticised and Muslims were warned not to join it. The Imam of the Jamia Mosque, Keamari, did the same after Juma prayers, and went so far as to say that Allama Mashraqi and his followers were ‘kafirs’. This had such an effect that the Chief Salar had to abandon a projected meeting at Keamari. .[Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 5th April 1940 Fortnightly report for the Second half of March 1940].

13. The usual Khaksar parades were held at Karachi and Hyderabad. During the course of a parade at Hyderabad, Mir Ali Ahmed Nabi Bakhsh, who has been appointed Khaksar Hakim Ala for Sind, refuted the allegation of the Punjab Government that Khaksars had pro-Nazi leanings. The weekly “Bab-ul-Islam” of Hyderabad, under the caption “The Bloody Tragedy at Khanewal”, strongly condemns the Punjab Government for its alleged highhanded policy towards the Khaksars in stopping the supply of food and water to Khaksars who had taken shelter in Lahore mosques. The paper referring to “the cruel bayonet attack on Khaksars in a close railway compartment at Khanewa” remarks “for how long are happy homes to be sacrifice for the Sikandar Ministry? Does he mean to increase his power by using guns and bayonets against unarmed people?” Ghaibana funeral Prayers were offered at Hyderabad Jacobabad and Kotri for Hafiz Rukanuddin, who was killed at Khanewal. It appears that the Khaksars are not perturbed at the Sind Government’s ban on their journey to the Punjab Government have, however, informed us that the ban is effective and that there has been no influx of Khaksars from this province since it was issued. Khaksar parades at Hyderabad, which has the Largest numbers of Khaksars in Sind, are causing some anxiety to the local authorities, and the District Magistrate, Hyderabad, has more than once emphasized that the organization should be declared unlawful and suppressed as early as possible. Action on these lines will presumably become necessary, when the question of taking concerted measures against all unauthorised volunteer bodies s recently proposed by the Government of the India is considered. If properly managed, it ought to be possible to divert some of this enthusiasm towards the newly formed Civic Guards, Preparations for the enrolment of these are proceeding in all districts though details remain to be worked out as regards their equipment and subsistence allowance. In some quarters there is scepticism as to their effectiveness unless traimed in the use of fire-arms, while those whose natural tendency is to mistrust the police look askance at the Civic Guards as a mere appanage to the former. Experience with the volunteer constables previously recruited in Karachi, however, gives ground for hope that at any rate in towns the movement will be a success.

14. Khaksar parades were held in Karachi, Hyderabad and Larkana. The Khaksar movement is on the increase in Hyderabad district. Their Hakim Ala, Mir Ali Ahmed Nabi Bakhsh, has left for Lucknow to attend a Conference. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 5th August 1940 Fortnightly report for the Second half of July 1940].

15. The Khaksars have been fairly quiet. There have been no activities beyond the usual parades at Karachi, Hyderabad and Larkana. A meeting of the Council of the Sind Provincial Muslim League was held in Karachi to consider whether the Muslim League Ministers should be allowed to carry on, or called upon to resign. The Hon’ble khan Bahadur M.A.Khuhro, Minister, Public Works Department, the Hon’ble Khan Bahadur M.A. Khuhro, Minister, Public Works Department, the Hon’ble Mr. Sheikh Abdul Majid, Finance Minister and the Hon’ble Mr. G.M. Sayed, Education Minister, attended the meeting. After a prolonged discussion the Council passed a resolution expressing confidence in the three Muslim League Ministers.[Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S) 40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 22^ndJuly1940. Fortnightly Report for the first half of July 1940].

16. Khaksar parades were held at Karachi and Hyderabad in Karachi, Khaksar Day was observed on17th May, and prayers were offered for those who are said to be fasting in Lahore mosques. At one parade it was stated it was stated that the Imam of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore had supported the action of the Khaksars who took shelter in mosques. About twenty- five Khaksars are reported to have left Sind in small beacuse for Lahore, during the fortnight. It is difficut to estimate the correct numbers leaving the province as they usually travel without uniform or equipment. Moreever, they do not take tickets to Lahore, but book to various stations on the main line. The Punjab Government has requested this Government to prohibit the departure of Khaksars from Sind for destination in Punjab. But following a similar request made last year by the United Provinces Government, we were in some double as to which of the Defence of Indai Rules was applicable to the case. The Government of India have since pointed out that action can be taken under the new Rule 85-B, according to which any persons can be prevented from travelling by railway, and this is being done accordingly.[Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 7th June 1940. Fortnightly Report for the second half of May1940].

17. Khaksar parades were held at Karachi, Hyderabad, Larkana and other places. The parades of the rival association, the Fauj-e-Muhammadi, are dwindling and the anti-Khaksar movement was not much in evidence during the fortnight under report. The fissiparous tendency in all organizations in Sind is also evident in the Khaksar movement. At a weekly parade in Hyderabad, the khaksars refused to carry the Khaksar flag as a mark of sorrow at Allama Mashriqi’s internment, whereupon the leaders did not accept the salute and the parade dispersed. It appears that the Hyderabad Khaksars have received secret instructions from the centre to leave for Lahore as soon as possible, though few are likely to respond, while the improvement in the relations between Khaksars and the Punjab Government will presumably mean the end of this agitation. An All-Sind Khaksar Camp at Nawabshah from 24th to 26th May 1940 is contemplated. Among Hindus the Arya Vir Dal and Arya Samaj were active. At a meeting of the Anjuman Imamia at Hyderabad, resolutions were passed requesting the Sind Government to move the United Provinces Government to rescind the Madhe Sahba communique issued by the latter during the Congress regime, requesting the Sind Government (sic) to restore the Ruler of Khairpur to his state and condemning the ‘ashura’ bomb incident at Sukkur and urging Government to trace the culprits. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 16th May 1940. Fortnightly Report for the First half of May1940].

18. The Khaksar firing incident at Lahore had no serious at Lahore had no serious repercussions in Sind. It is felt in Khaksar circles that the Punjab Government have now yielded, though emphasis is being laid on being firm, and keeping in readiness for proceeding to Lahore, if necessary. The Muslim Leaguers seem to have been asked not to interfere or to help the Khaksars. It is learnt that Dr. Muhammad Ismail Nami of Amritsar has issued a statement showing the demands of the Khaksars, which include the payment of compensation by the Punjab Government to the dependents of those killed in the firing at Lahore. The statement says that negotiations can only be carrid out by Allama Mashriqi, and threatens that if any Salar or Khaksar negotiates direct with Government he will be publicly punished. Information has been received that arrangements for sending batches of Khaksars from Peshawar- and Naushera to Rawilpindi have been made, as the formed centre of the movement, Haripur, has now been shifted to Rawalpindi, whither Khaksars have been asked to proceed in plain clothes. Emphasis has been laid on the necessity of sending, when necessary, batches of Khaksars from all centres surrounding the Punjab in order to attain success. Prayers were offered at many mosques in memory of the Khaksars who died at Lahore.     [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 20th April 1940. Fortnightly Report for the First half of April 1940].

19. Muhammad Akram Jalis the Chief salar for Sind, left for Meerut en route to Delhi where a conferences was to be held to consider negotiations with the Punjab Government. He has since returned. Recruitment to the Khaksar movement continues, with instruction in drill etcetra. It is said that twenty Khaksars, strangely enough gave a salute to the Congress Flag at Ratodero, in Larkana District, where they paraded the streets delivering short speeches. The Khaksar movement has been revived at Nawabshah while Khaksar parades were held as usual at Karachi, Larkana, Hyderabad and Jamesabad. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 20th April 1940. Fortnightly Report for the First half of April 1940].

20. Movement on Khaksar lines continue to be encouraged among the Hindus. For instance, the Arya Shevak Dal has formed an off-shoot called the Arya Black Part in Karachi which is said to be an imitation of a namesake at Lahore. The volunteers were black and carry whistles, spears, pick-axes and torches and have a captain own. The party has not yet announced its aims and objects, but it is said to have been formed on the lines of, though in opposition to the Khaksar and other Muslim organisations. A Hindu Kasrat Shala has lately been opened at Khanpur (Sukkur District) which has about forty members on its rolls. A Sheva Mandli has been formed at Abdu (Sukkur District), the object of which is to impart military training to Hindu youths, its present membership being thirty. One of these mushroom bodies naively approached the Ex-Services Association in Karachi to supply them with a drill instruction. It is now learnt that Santsingh Birsingh, the Drill Instructor of the “Bachav Sena”, Sukkur, referred to in paragraph of my last letter, who is an ex-Police Constable, was dismissed from Government service on being sentenced to six months’ rigorous imprisonment for assaulting another Constable. It is significant that during the celebration of the anniversary of the Arya samaj (College Section), Islam, Christianity and Sanatan Dharma were criticized impartially, and Hindus were advised to become powerful enough to defend themselves and to adopt a “tit for tat” communal policy. A resolution to the effect that the creed of non-violence was not practical in every struggle was adopted. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 20th April 1940. Fortnightly Report for the First half of April 1940].

21. Khaksar parades were held at Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, Ratodero and Jacobabad. At Ratodero a Khaksar Anjuman has been formed. Some Khaksars of Karachi gave a rception to Noor Ahmed Shah, Khaksars Nazim of Lahore, on his arrival at Karachi. In Hyderabad, the Khaksars parade daily in their respective beats a weekly parade having been held during the fortnight, were the Khaksars marched throughout the city. The Hyderabad Khaksars seems to be more active than those of any other place in Sind. It is understood that Khaksar activity has been revived again in Mirpurkhas town. A prominent Khaksar of Hyderabad (Sind), accompanied by two other Khaksars od the Punjab, visited Jacobabad, on the 15th and 1th January, when the Khaksars paraded through the main streets of the town in their honour, and presented them with a salute. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 2nd February 1940. Fortnightly Report for the Second half of January 1940].

22. About forty Khaksars held a rally at Hyderabad on the 7th December and Collected at the meeting placed in military formation. Six were in Khaki mufti and twelve carried ‘belchas’. Their conduct comes within the mischief of rule 58 of the Defence of India Rules and the question of taking action against them is under the consideration of Government. [ Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 18th December 1940 Fortnightly report for the first half on December 1940].

23. It is reported that the there was a Khaksar police clash at Khanewal. A batch of twenty nine Khaksars was noticed at the railway station, Khanpur, on the 31st May. They were pursued and eventually arrested at Khanewal on the morning of the 1st June. Twenty eight were arrested and one-died of injuries received during the scuffle. The person who met death was a clerk in the office of the Collector of Karachi. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 21st June 1940 Fortnightly report for the first half on June 1940].

24. It appears that at the end of April 1940 there were 1,214 Khaksars enrolled in Sind, 1,172 ordinary Khaksars and 41 Jarrbaz. Hyderabad heads the list with 527 Khaksars and Dadu records the least number with 50. As briefly mentioned in my report, a notification has been issued by Government under sub-rule 1 of Rule 85(b) of the Defence of India Rules, which requires that no person belonging to or wearing the uniform of the “Anjuman-i- Khaksaran” and proposing to proceed to any place in the Punjab shall be carried on a railway, and prohibits the travelling by railway of any such person. [Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 21st June 1940 Fortnightly report for the first half on June 1940].

25. The Khaksars have stopped their parades in Karachi and Larkana, following the issue of the Government of India Ordinance restricting the activities of such organizations. The Khaksars Camp which was to be held at Hyderabad from 16th to 18th August was cancelled. Prominent Khaksars of Hyderabad met and decided not to violate the Government orders without first taking advice from their headquarter. Some influential Khaksars have been deputed to meet the Hon’ble Ministers and members of the Sind Legislative Assembly at Karachi and to obtain their advice in the matter. The Arya Vir Dal volunteers, Hyderabad, have also decided not to violate the Government of India ban. The Sind Gothani Fauj is at present inactive. The Volunteer Dal, Mirpurkhas, is however, reported to be holding parades of about 25 volunteer Dal, Mirpurkhas, is however, reported to be holding parades of about 25 volunteers at night. The District Magistrate has been instructed to deal with the matter. [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40. Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd September 1940. Fortnightly Report for the Second half of August 1940].

26. The Khaksars have toned down their activities and the usual parades have stopped. The local Students’ Union organised a Students’ Rally at the Khalikdina Hall on the 1st of September which was attended by about 200 students. Hashu T. Kewalramani, President of the Students ‘Union moved a resolution confirming the stand taken by the Congress Working Committee. A demonstration was organised with the usual flage and placards. A public meeting was held under the auspices of the local League of the Radical Congressmen to observe an anti-Fascist Day. Moulvi Muhammad Yakub Hingoro presided. He stated that the Radical Congressmen were not opposed to the principles of the Congress, but to the policy of certain members of the Congress High Command. Din Muhammad Khatib moved a resolution to the effect that the struggle for the emancipation of mankind from Fascism could not be separated from the struggle for India’s freedom. The right to grant or not to grant freedom to Indian people. He said that a new enemy of freedom had appeared whose name was Hitler. He was crushing the freedom of the world. Najendra Kumar Vyas, while seconding the resolution, condemned Fascism, Nazism and Imperialism, criticised the Congress High Command and made some adverse remarks about Mr. Gandhi and Pandit Jawaherlal Nehru, which infuriated some of the members present. The meeting ended in an uproar. On the 4th of Septemberthee local Students’. Union held a meeting to protest against the arrest of Hashu T. Kewalramani and Pritam Tahilramani under the Defence of India Rules. They have been arrested as they were found in possession of certain proscribed communist pamphlets. Dr. Popatlal A. Bhoopatkar, M.L.A., joined the students in their protest against the arrest of these two persons [Source Government of Sind Home Department (Special) No. P-25-H(S)/40.

27.There has been a good deal of activity in Karachi among the local Khaksars im connection with the visit of Hakim Muhammad Akram Jalis, the Chief Salar for Sind. He has been touring Sind and everywhere he was received with a salute of forty-one crackers. At a demonstration parade at Hyderabad, the Chief Salar read out a written address on the Knaksar movement commenting on the down-trodden condition of the Muslim.

Part:2

1. The Khaksars observed “Martyrdom Day” in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana. At Sukkur and Larkana crackers were fired and some of the Khaksars appeared in uniforms with ‘belchas’ . Action against them is under consideration. In Karachi 45 Khaksars moved in the streets in mufti carrying ‘belchas’, but did not march in military formations. A public meeting was held in the Khalikdina Hall mostly attended by Muslim Leaguers. Salutes were presented in the memory of the Khaksars killed in Lahore on March 19th, Hafiz Ruknuddin, Tipu Sultan, Inayatullah Khan Mashraqui and the prominent Hindu, Sikh, Christian and Parsee leaders.

3. The Provincial Khaksar leader, Mir Ali Ahmed Nabi Bakhsh, remarked that Kahksars were out to serve the cause of humanity but so far they have failed to render adequate service to the sister communities because Khaksars belong to a down trodden community in a slave country. Prayers were offered for the release of Allama Mashraqi. There was a procession of about 65 Khaksars in Hyderbad out of whom 30 wore khaki dress and 21 carried belchas.

4. The Khaksar Camp at Hyderabad, to which I made a reference in my last letter, attracted considerable audiences and there was a varied programme of physical exercises. It was emphasised that the Khaksar movement was a social movement and had no quarrel with any community although one of the captions on the entrance gate to the Camp was to the effect that the object of the Khaksar ‘sipahi’ was the rule of the world and the domination of Islam![Source No. P-25-h(s)/37, Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 3rd May 1941 Fortnightly report for the Second half of April 1941].

5. The local Khaksar leader, Mian Ahmed Shah, has issued a statement regarding the present position of the Khaksars in which he has commended the action of His Excellency the Governor of the North-West Frontier Province in showing leniency to the Khaksars. He also hopes that the Government of India will re-consider their orders and has enjoined upon the Khaksars to remain peaceful in the meantime. Orders have been issued for the release of the two Khaksars imprisoned recently, provided they give an undertaking to refrain from any undersirable activities in future. They are persons of no importance. [Source of Government of Sind Home Department (Special), Sind Secretariat, Karachi, 19^th July 1941, Fortnightly Report for the First Half of July 1941].

NAMES OF WORKERS & OFFICE-BEARERS OF ‘SINDH KHAKSAR TAHRIK’

Working on history and documentation of information is pure craft of research and care. I have done my level best to collect information from various sources and have compiled it in simple way. During British Period (1843-1847) there were more than forty political parties and pressure groups functional in Sindh and Khaksar Tahrik was one of them. I am sharing here-with list of names of its workers, office bearers and leaders. Friends can find more names on my website under titles of “Luminaries of Larkano” and “Freedom Fighters”.

Most of workers and leaders of Khaksar Tahrik are not known but, they are our Freedom Fighters and they played their role in Freedom Movement from this platform. In this list names are given in Alphabetical order. After every name, his status and place are indicated into bracket.

The Constitution of the SINDH HARI PARTY

هاري حقدار زنده باد!    انقلاب زنده باد!

سنڌ هاري پارٽي جو آئين

هاري دارالاشاعت:

حيدرآباد (سنڌ)

جاري: 1949ع

(8 آنا)

رئيس حيدربخش الهداد خان جتوئي ”هاري حقدار (اليڪٽرڪ) پرنٽنگ پريس“، رسالا روڊ، حيدرآباد سنڌ مان ڇپي. ”هاري دارلاشاعت“، رسالا روڊ، حيدرآباد (سنڌ) مان شايع ڪيو.

سنڌ هاري پارٽي جو آئين

سنڌ پراونشل هاري ڪاميٽيءَ جو سڌاريل ۽ منظور ڪيل، حيدرآباد سنڌ، 6 نومبر 1948ع.

قلم پهريون

نالو

تعليم جو نالو سنڌ هاري پارٽي آهي (جنهن کي هن کانپوءِ پارٽي ڪري سڏيو ويندو)

قلم ٻيو

حد عمل

پارٽي جو عمل سڄي سنڌ سان لاڳو آهي ۽ ان ۾ ڪراچي شهر ۽ خيرپور رياست به اچي وڃن ٿا (جن کي ضلع شمار ڪيو ويندو).

نوٽ: پارٽي سنڌ جي هارين جي عوامي جماعت آهي ۽ ان ۾ اهي دهڻائي ضرور به اچي وڃن ٿا.

                                     (ب) هارين ڏانهن خطاب هاري ۽ زميندار

هاري طبقي جي فائدو انهيءَ ۾ آهي ته هاريءَ کي بٽئي ۾ ٻه حصا ملن زميندار کي هڪ حصو، هاريءَ کان بيگر ۽ ڇيڙ نه وٺجن؛ زمين تي هاريءَ جو موروثي حق رهي….

زميندار طبقي جو فائدو ۽ منشا اها آهي ته زميندار کي بٽٿي ۾ اڌ کان به زياده حصو ملي، جيئن وڻيس تيئن هڪ هاريءَ کي زمين تان لوڏي ٻئي کي بيهاري؛ هارين کي ڇيڙ بيگر ۾ وهائي…..

هاري جيڪڏهن ٽينسي (موروثي هارپ) حق لاءِ طلب ڪري ٿو ته زميندار ان جي مخالفت ڪري ٿو. ڇاڪاڻ ته انهيءَ ۾ سندس طاقت سگهجي ٿي ۽ هاريءَ کي طاقت ملي ٿي.

زميندار جي هٿ ۾ دولت آهي؛ زميندار جي هٿ ۾ حڪومت آهي؛ عملدار پوليس سڀ زميندار سان ٻڌل آهي. لازمي طرح هاري طبقو هر نموني ۾ رهڙجي رهيو آهي.

هاري حقيقي طاقت جو مالڪ آهي

دنيا جي تمام پيداوار انساني محنت جي ذريعي وجود ۾ اچي ٿي. پوک، اناج ڪپهه هاريءَ جي پورهئي جي پيدائش آهي. زميندار هر ڪاهيندو آهي؟ نه لابارو ڪندو آهي؟ نه، ڳالهه ڳاهيندو آهي؟ نه، انهيءَ پنهنجن پنهنجن علحدين جماعتن کي پارٽيءَ سان ملحق ڪرائين.

قلم ٽيون

مقاصد

پارٽيءَ جو مقصد آهي نه هارين کي زميندارن ۽ سرمائيدار طبقي جي مالي ۽ سياسي لٽ ۽ استعمال کان آزاد ڪيو وڃي ۽ ٻين طبقا تي جمهوري جماعتن سان گڏجي سنڌ ۽ پاڪستان ۾ مڪمل قومي آزادي ۽ جمهوريت قائم ڪئي وڃي (جيڪا انگريز ڪامن ويلٽ کان جدا ۽ آزاد هجي) ۽ جنهن ۾ تمام اقتصادي ۽ سياسي طاقت محنت ڪش عوام جي هٿ ۾ رهي.

(الف)- پارٽيءَ جو آخري مقصد آهي ته:

1.زمينداري ۽ جاگيرداري سرشتي کي ختم ڪيو وڃي؛

2. پوک ڪندڙ هاريءَ کي زمين جو مالڪ قبول ڪيو وڃي؛

3. تمام زمين کي قومي ملڪيت ٺهرايو وڃي (بغير عيوضي جي)؛ ۽ پوءِ

4. زراعت جي پراڻن نمونن کي ڇڏي مشين (ٽريڪٽر وغيره) جي بنياد تي اجتماعن طرح زراعت ڪئي وڃي.

(ب) مٿين مقصدن کي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ پارٽيءَ جا هيٺيان فوري مطالبا آهن:

1. سڀني هارين کي يڪدم دائمي ۽ موروثي ”ٽينسي حق“ ڏنو وڃي، جنهن موجب زميندار هارين کي زمين تان زبردستي بيدخل ڪري نه سگهن؛

2. ننڍن کاتيدارن کي ڍل کان آزاد ڪيو وڃي ۽ صرف جائزو ورتو وڃي، جنهن جو اندازو واهن جي خرچ جيترو هجي؛

3. جن زميندارن جي سالياني پيدائش پنج هزار رپين کان مٿي آهي انهن تي ”ايگريڪلچرل انڪم ٽئڪس“ بست ڪئي وڃي؛

4. سڀ سرڪاري زمينون فقط هارين کي ۽ ”هارپ گرانٽن“ جي صورت ۾ ڏنيون وڃن؛

5. سڀ جاگيرون رد ڪري انهن زمينن تي پوک ڪندڙ هارين جو موروثي حق تسليم ڪيو وڃي.

تشريح 1- ”هاري“ معنيٰ اهو شخص يا سندس گهر جو پاڻي جنهن جو گذران اڪثر پوک تي يا زراعتي ضروري آهي، يا ديهاتي ايراضيءَ ۾ مزوريءَ ئي آهي.

تشريح: ”جمهوريت“ معنيٰ عوام جي حڪومت ۽ ان جو مدار هن بنيادي اعتقاد تي آهي ته-

(الف) سڀ انسان يڪسان ڄمن ٿا؛

(ب) هر انسان کي ڪجهه حقوق آهن جي هن کان کسي نه ٿا سگهجن ۽ اهي آهن زندگي، آزادي خوشنودي جي تلاش؛

(ج) انسانن ۾ اها اهليت آهي ته هو پاڻ تي حڪومت ڪري سگهن.

جمهوريت مان مراد آهي ته:

1.سموري سياسي طاقت جا مالڪ عوام آهن ۽ عوام اها طاقت پنهنجي نمائندن جي ذريعي عمل ۾ آڻين ٿا ۽ عوام کي حق آهي ته هو پنهنجي نمائندن کي ڪنهن به وقت معزول ڪري سگهن.

2. هرهڪ مرد توڙي عورت کي جنهن جي عمر 18 سالن کان گهٽ ناهي، ۽ پاڳل ناهي، ان کي ڪنهن به ذات يا قوم يا مذهب جي امتياز کانسواءِ ووٽ جو حق آهي.

3. ووٽ مخثي ۽ آزاد ۽ قانون ساز جماعتن لاءِ سڌو هوندو.

4. هيٺيون آزاديون ملڪ جي هر هڪ باشنده جي حق ۾ تسليم شده آهن. ضمير جي آزادي؛ زبان يعني اظهار خيال جي آزادي، پريس جي آزادي، جماعت بندي جي آزادي، جلسي جي آزادي، مظاهري جي آزادي.

تشريح: 3 ”ننڍو کاتيدار“ معنيٰ ساريال آزادي جي حالت ۾ 12 ايڪٽن، خشڪ پوک جي حالت ۾ 24 ايڪڙن، جو مالڪ.

قلم چوٿون

عمل جو طريقو

پنهنجي مقصدن جي حصول لاءِ پارٽي هارين کي سندن فوري طلبن جي بنياد تي تنظيم ۾ آڻيندي ۽ سڀ ڪنهن ممڪن آئيني طريقن سان جدوجهد قائم رکندي جيستائين پنهنجي منزل مقصود تي پهچي.

قلم پنجون

فقره 3: ڪن به خاص حاسلتن سبب جيڪڏهن هن آئين جو ڪو به حصو ڪٿي عمل ۾ ناممڪن يا مشڪل ٿئي ته سنڌ هاري ڪاميٽيءَ کي اختيار آهي ته حالتن جي تقاضا موجب، ۽ پارٽيءَ جي مقصدن جي واڌاري خاطر، انهن حصن بابت رعايت ۽ تخفيف جي اجازت ڏئي.

فقره 4: ”سنڌ پراونشل هاري ڪاميٽي“ يا ان کان اڳ ”سنڌ هاري پارٽي“ جا اڳيان عهديدار ۽ فيصلا، جيئن مناسب هجي، سنڌ هاري پارٽيءَ جا عهديدار ۽ فيصلا سمجهڻ گهرجن.

فقره 5: هلندڙ سال (49-1948ع) لاءِ سنڌ پراونشل هاري ڪاميٽيءَ جي ورڪنگ ڪاميٽيءَ هن آئين هيٺ سنڌ هاري ڪاميٽي ۽ سنڌ هاري ڪائونسل ٻنهي عهدن جو ڪم ڪندي، جيستائين نيون چونڊون عمل ۾ اچن.

غلط نظام

اناج پيدا به هاري ڪري ٿو مگر ان هوندي به بک هاريءَ جي گهر ۾، ڪپهه پيدا به هاري ڪري ٿو مگر تڏهن به انگ اگهاڙو هاري!

اهو نظام جنهن ۾ پورهيت بکو آهي؛ جنهن ۾ هڪ انسان ٻئي انسان کي پنهنجي ذاتي نفع خاطر مزور ڪري وهائي ٿو ۽ گويا ان جو خون پئي ٿو؛ اهو نظام جنهن ۾ بيڪار ۽ بدڪار ماڻهو صرف دولت جي لحاظ کان شريف سمجهيو وڃي ٿو؛ اهو نظام جنهن ۾ شريف محنت ڪش دليل رهي ٿو، اهو نظام جنهن ۾ انسانيت سان بيحرمتي ٿئي ٿي. اهو نظام غلط نظام آهي ۽ ان کان مٽائڻ کپي.

انقلاب هاريءَ جو ڪم آهي

انهيءَ غلط نظام کي مٽائڻ جو انقلاب ڪير آڻيندو؟ اهو ڪم ٿئي تنهن طبقنجو آهي جو هن جو شڪار آهي، ٻنهي هارين کي انقلاب مخالفت ڪير ڪندو؟ اهو طبقو ٿيو جنهن جو زميندار.

زميندار هر ممڪن نموني، مذهب، جي نالي ۾، پاڪستان جي نالي ۾، مگر حيثيت ۾ صرف پنهنجي ذاتي فائدي لاءِ، انقلاب جي آخر دم تائين مخالفت ڪندو.

سنڌ ۾ هاري هلچل جي ضرورت

اڄ زمانو هڪ نئين ۽ زبردست لهر جي وڪڙ ۾ گرفتار آهي. ملڪ جا جدا جدا ماڻهو پنهنجي طبعيت پٽاندڙ انهيءَ ڦيري ۾ مڙي رهيا آهن. پڙهيل ۽ سياستدان، هاري ۽ زميندار ۽ شهرن ۾ رهندڙ مزدور، سياستدانن جون ڪانگريسون، واپارين جون چيمبرون ۽ زميندارن جون جماعتون ۽ مزدورن جون ٻڌيون جت ڪٿ جاري آهن. هرڪو ملڪ جو ڀاڱو پنهنجن واسطن جي پروريءَ لاءِ انتظام ۽ جوڙجڪ ڪري رهيو آهي. مگر هن اسان جي ديس ۾ هڪ سپني ۾ وڏي قوم جنهن تي ساري ديس جو آزار آهي ۽ جنهن جي ترقيءَ کانسواءِ ڪا به ٻي ترقي دائميت نٿي پائي سگهي سا قوم اڃا غفلت جي حالت ۾ آهي، اڃا ڇڙوڇڙ آهي، جنهن ڪري پٺ پيل ۽ مظلوم آهي، اها قوم آهي هاري قوم هندستان اوهين ڇاکي ٿا چئو؟ هي جو چوڻ ۾ ٿو اچي ته هندستان ماتر ڀومي يا مادر زمين آهي، تنهن جي معنيٰ ڇا آهي؟ زمين برابر ماءُ آهي ڇو ته اسين مڙئي زمين جا پٽ آهيون يعني جيئن ته ماءُ جي کير تي هر ڪنهن ٻچي کي حق آهي، تيئن زمين جي سڀني ٻالڪن کي زمين جي پيدائش ۽ خورش تي حق آهي. ماتا اها آهي جيڪا هر هڪ ٻار کي پنهنجي گود ۾ اجهو ٿي ڏئي، تهڙيءَ ريت زمين جي دامن ۾ هر هڪ رمواسيءَ کي اجهي جو حق آهي. هندستان معنيٰ هيءَ ساري الاهي زمين، هندستان معنيٰ 33 ڪروڙ ماڻهو، مگر انهيءَ 33 ڪروڙن ماڻهن مان ڪامورڪي، واپاري، زميندار قوم فقط ڪا پنج ست سيڪڙو آهي، باقي هي سارو هندستان جو عالم ڳوٺن ۾ رهي ٿو. شهر بلڪل ٿورا آهن، ڳوٺ مڙئي پنج لک آهن. نظر ڪريو ڳوٺن ڏي، مکيه ڳوٺ ۾ ۽ ٻهراڙيءَ ۾ برابر عملدار جو بنگلو، سيٺ جي ماڙي ۽ زميندار جي اوطاق ڏسڻ ۾ اميدي، پير ڳوٺ جي سچي پچي مخلوقات ڪٿي اهي؟ اها مخلوقات چار ڪروڙن ۾ آهي جيڪا ملڪ جو 90 سيڪڙو آهي سا مخلوقات ڪنهن جي ليکي ۾ به ڪا نه آهي! اچو ويجهو پنهنجي سنڌ جي حالتن ڏي، سنڌ اسان جو ملڪ آهي! پر ڪنهن جو ملڪ آهي؟ ڪراچي، حيدرآباد، سکر، شڪارپور، لاڙڪاڻه ۽ جيڪب آباد جا وڏا شهر ٿيا ٽڪ ۾ ٽي، ڇا سنڌ تڏهن رڳو ٿورن ديوانن، سيٺيز ۽ وڏيرن ملن جي آهي. پر سي ٿيا گهڻا؟ شهرن ۾ به ڀاڳيا ماڻهو ديوان ۽ سيٺيون جي سڻڀو ستابو کائين ٿا، يعني جي انڪم ٽئڪس ڏين ٿا سي گهڻا؟ 8 هزار ماڻهو سنڌ ۾ انڪم ٽئڪس ڏين ٿا، يعني ته شهرن ۾ ڪمائي ڪندڙن ۾ 8 هزار ڪٽنب آهن، جن لاءِ چئجي کڻي ته کين سکيو ٽڪر نصيب ٿئي ٿو. ڪٽنب ڪٽنب ۾ 3 يا 4 ڀاتين جي حساب سان 50 هزاسر ماڻهو خوش ٿا گذارين وٺو مثال هاڻ زميندارن جو، سنڌ ۾ 2 لک کاتيدار ننڍا ۽ وڏا آهن، انهن 2 لکن مان ڏيڍ لک ته اهي کاتيدار آهن جن کي 25 ايڪڙن تائين زمين آهي. يعني سراسري پنج يا ست ايڪڙ. اها مخلوقات به بلڪل بيحال آهي، اها به مسڪين قوم آهي.

”آڻين ۽ چاڙهين ڏٿ ڏهاڙي سومرا“.

پر جنهن جو نالو زمين سا رڳو اڌ لک زميندارن وٽ آهي. يعني ته چئو کڻي اٽڪل ٽي لک کيتيءَ تي گذران ڪندڙ ماڻهو آهن جي سکيو ٽڪر کائي سگهن ٿا ٻيا مڙئي دربدر آهن. حساب ڪري ڏنو ويو آهي ته سنڌ ۾ کيتيءَ جو ڌنڌو ڪندڙن 27 لک ماڻهن مان فقط 3 يا 4 لک ماڻهو اهي جيڪي ملڪ جا مالڪ بڻجي، ٻين جي پورهين جو عمل کائي مڇن کي تيل مکيو، پيٽ ڀريو گهمن ٿا ۽ 7 لکن کيتي جي ڌنڌي ڪندڙن مان ٻه فقط لک منو ماڻهو آهن جي به واپاري، ڪامورڪي، دلالي وغيره ڪم ڪري عام مخلوقات جو نفعو پنهنجي هڙ ۾ رکي سکيو گذارين ٿا. ٻيا مڙيئي دک ۽ درد ۾ گذارين ٿا. 90 سيڪڙو ملڪ جا ماڻهو مظلوم آهن، رڳو ڏهه سيڪڙو مالڪ آهن.

پڪو حساب ڪيو ويو آهي ته سنڌ ۾ کيتي ڪندڙن ماڻهن مان اٽڪل 23 لک ماڻهو آهن، جن کي زمين جو ذرو نه آهي، جن کي هاري ٿو چيو وڃي. زمين جا لکها ٻار پورهيو ڪن ٿا، جان ڏين ٿا، تن کي هڙ حاصل چئجي کڻي ته ڪجهه به ڪين آهي. هاري اهو آهي جنهن کي نه زمين تي حق آهي نه ڪنهن جاءِ تي حق آهي. هيءَ قوم دربدر آهي، اڌورو پيٽ هن کي مس نصيب ٿئي ٿو، ڪي ٿورا داڻا لڪائي رکي نه ته پني ٿو، ائين به آهي ته هاريءَ جا اڄڪلهه بچيل ٿورا داڻا به واڻئي جي دڪان زميندار جي اوطاق ۾ قيد آهن جن مان ڪو سير اڌ روز ملين ته ملين نه ته ٿيو ڀلو.

وري وري ليکيو ڪيو ويو آهي ته سراسري هاريءَ جي ڪمائي چار روپيه مهيني ۾ تنهن مان جوءِ به پال، ٻار به پالي ۽ ٻڍي ماءُ به سنڀالي لاچاري حالت ۾ ڪو اڌ پيٽ نصيب ٿيندو هوندس پر انگ ۽ اجهو ته هن کي ٿئي ڪين. پير گرميءَ ۾ سڙي خاڪ ٿيو وڃينس. جتي ڪٿان آڻي؟

اگهاڙن، بکايلن، ننڌڻڪن جي درد کي محسوس ڪريو، اٿي ڪو سهڪار ۽ ميلاپ جو طريقو وٺي هنن هارين جو بلو ڀڻي ڪريو، نه ته ياد رکو توهان جي سياست جي به ڪا معنيٰ تڏهن ٿي سگهي ٿي جڏهن پس پيش هنن 90 سيڪڙو مظلومن جو ڀلو اوهان جي من ۾ آهي سوراج معنيٰ آهي نه اها ته ڪي ٿورا ديوان يا ٿورا سٺيون يا ڪي ٿورا ميان صاحب موجون ڪندا، سوراج معنيٰ آهي ته اول ان انگ ۽ اجهو هنن مظلومن کي ملندو.

هن وٽ ڪوڙي نالڀي

هو لکن ساڻ لڳن

هن وٽ پاڻي پاءُ ناهه

هو دارون رنگ لٽن

هن وٽ پٽ ٽپهير

هي ننگا نت گهمن

هي جهنگ پيا جهاڳن

ٿا سورن منجهه سمهن

ڪيئن مثل ملڪ ۾!

سچو سورا جي اهو آهي، جنهن جي دل کي هنن ڪروڙن جي دکن جهوريو آهي جنهنڪري ئي هو جي ميدان ۾ آيو آهي. اسين تنهنڪري ديس روشي کي ٿا چئون ته اوهان جي ترڪ مان خير کي حاصل ٿيندو جيڪڏهن اوهين رات ۽ ڏينهن هنن مظلومن هارين نارين جي سمرڻي من ۾ سوريندا.

آهن ڪي اپاءُ؟

اسان جو رايو آهي ته هارين نارين جو معاملو نڪي سڌو سياسي رستي حل ٿيندو، نڪي سڌو مذهبي رستي، سچي سياست جي معنيٰ آهي هن عام جو ڀلو ڪرڻ، اهڙي طرح سڄو قرم يا مذهب فقط غريب ڀائرن جي خدمت آهي. مگر زماني جون حالتون ڏسي اسين چئون ٿا ته هاري تحريڪ ۾ نڪي سڌو هٿ سياست جو هئڻ گهرجي نڪي هٿ مذهب جو هارين جي تحرڪ کي نجو رکڻ کپي. انهيءَ تحرڪ جي فقط هڪ ئي مراد هئڻ گهرجي ”هارين جو گذراني بلو“.

سکر بئراج زمين:

وڏي خوشيءَ جي ڳالهه آهي ته سنڌ ۾ سکر بئراج زمين سير هئڻ ڪري، اهڙو موقعو مليو آهي جو سنڌ جي هارين جو ڀلو ڀيڻي ٿي سگهي ٿو اسين ته انهي راءِ جا آهيون ته انهيءَ زمين جو ڳچ چڱو ڀاڱو ته انهن هارين نارين کي ملن جيڪي زمين سنڀالين ۽ پوکڻ لاءِ تيار آهن. سرڪار پنهنجي تازي ڪڍيل ”سکر بئراج واري ٺوٽ“ ۾ ظاهر ڪيو آهي ته 50 هزار ايڪڙ 3 هزار هارين کي هڪ هڪ کي سورنهن سورنهن ايڪڙ ڏنا ويندا ۽ انهن کان 15 ورهين قسطن سان مالڪاڻو ورتو ويندو. اسين ته سمجهون ٿا ته ايتري به سگهه هارين ۾ نه آهي پر اهو مسئلو دور رکي اسان جو چوڻ آهي ته رڳو اڌ لک ايڪڙ مان سنڌ جي هارين کي ڪيئن پورائي پوندي. جنهن صورت ۾ سرڪار اصول به قبول ڪيو آهي، تنهن صورت ۾ ڇو فقط ٽن هزار هارين کي سهولت ملڻ کپي باقي لکها هاري ڇو انهي حق کان محروم رهن؟ انهيءَ ڪم ۾ سنڌ جي هارين کي مدد ڪرڻ لاءِ ضروري آهي ته هڪ زبردست قانوني تحريڪ هلائي وڃي.

هاري هلچل:

انهيءَ موقعي جو وجهه وٺي ڪن سڄڻن ويچار ڪيو آهي ته سنڌ ۾ هارين هلچل کي زور وٺائجي جنهن جو مقصد ٿيندو:-

سکر بئراج جي زمين ۾ هارين کي حق وٺي ڏيڻ، ڪائونسلن ۾ هارين جي حقن لاءِ ڪوششون ڪرڻ مثلن ”ٽينيٽ بل“ پاس ڪرائڻ زمينداري زمينن تي هارين کي دائمي کيتي جو حق وٺي ڏيڻ وغيره وغيره. هن وقت جڏهن نوان قانوني سڌارا اچڻا آهن تڏهن هر قسم جي ڪوشش ڪري هارين کي ووٽ جو حق وٺي ڏيڻ.

هاري ڪانفرنس:-

ميرپورخاص ۾ اڳيئي هاري ايوسيئيشن پر سال کان قائم ٿيل آهي هنن کي پنهنجي آفيس آهي. هن پاسي هاري هندو توڙي مسلمان ٻئي رهن ٿا ۽ شامل ٿي سگهن ٿا. انهيءَ ڪم ۾ هارين جا حمايتي ڪري همدرد زميندار پڻ آهن، هاڻي سڄڻن گڏجي ٺهراءُ ڪيو آهي ته ساري سنڌ لاءِ هڪ يڪي هلچل هلائجي جنهن جو مرڪز ڪراچي ٿئي. انهيءَ ڪم ۾ رکڻ ۽ ٺاهڻ لاءِ ميرپورخاص ۾ تاريخ 12، 13 جولائي هڪ عام ڪانفرنس رٿي ويئي آهي.

ڪانفرنس جو صدر مسٽر جمشيد اين آر مهتا ٿيڻ قبول ڪيو آهي. جنهن سان گڏ ڪيترائي وطن دوست ۽ هارين جا همدرد ڀائر اري سنڌ منجهان اچڻ وارا آهن. پرنسپال گوڪلي، حاتم علوي، شيخ عبدالمجيد، سيد غلام مرتضيٰ شاهه، لعل چند، امر ڏنو لعل، ڄيٺمل پرسرام ۽ ٻيا به انيڪ همدرد صاحب چڻ وارا آهن. سنڌ جي هر هڪ ضلعي مان هارين جا پنجاهه عيوضي اچي سگهن ٿا جيڪي مڙئي گڏجي صلاح مصلحت ڪندا ۽ رٿون رٿيندا. تاريخ 13 جولائي آرتوار جو پڻ هڪ عام ميڙ هارين جو ٿيندو.

هاري حقدار

هاري اليڪشن پڌرنامو

سنڌ هاري ڪميٽي جلد هڪ ”هاري عام پڌرنامو“ شايع ڪندي جنهن ۾ هيٺيون ڳالهيون درج ڪيون وينديون:-

1. تاريخي لحاظ سان هاري تحريڪ جي حيثيت

2. هاري طبقي جا دشمن ڪير ڪير آهن ۽ درست ڪير آهن؟

3. هاري تحريڪ جا مقصد ڪهڙا آهن، ترت مقصد ۽ آخري مقصد.

4. هاري طبقي جي عام حالت ۽ مصيبتون.

5. سنڌ هاري ڪاميٽيءَ جو پروگرام، وغيره.

هتي اسان هاري ڪميٽيءَ جي مقصدن ۽ پروگرامن جا ڪجهه حصا شايع ڪريون ٿا جن مان ماڻهن کي معلوم ٿيندو ته اسان ڇا جي لاءِ لڙي رهيا اهيون.

پهريون پهريون مقصد جو هارين جي آڏو ۽ سڀني سياسي جماعتن جي آڏو ۽ سڀني سياسي جماعتن جي آڏو آهي، سياسي آزادي، جيستائين سنڌ ۽ هندستان انگريزن جي حڪم هيٺ آهي تيستائين به ڪارگر سڌارو محال آهي.

ٻيو مقصد جو هارين آڏو آهي سون آهي اهو ته زمين انهن جي، جي پوکين جي پوکين کائين.

ٽيون مقصد آهي هارين ۽ شهري مزدورن جي جمهوري حڪومت قائم ڪرڻ جي پهرئين ۽ ٻئي مقصد جي بجا آڻڻ لاءِ ضروري آهي ۽ هنيئر ئي ڪجهه حد تائين ممڪن انهيءَ مقصد مان ٻيا هيٺان مقصد حاصل ٿي سگهن ٿا:-

سياست

(الف) 1. ڳوٺ ڳوٺ ۾ ”هاري ڪميٽي“ ٺاهڻ.

2. ”ڳوٺ هاري ڪميٽي“ جي عيوضين مان ”تعلقه هاري ڪاميٽي“ ٺاهڻ.

3. ”ڳوٺ هاري ڪميٽي“ مان ضلعي هاري ڪاميٽي ٺاهڻ.
4. ”تعلقه هاري ڪميٽي“ مان ”سنڌ هاري ڪاميٽي“ ٺاهڻ.

5. مٿين هاري ڪاميٽين جا قوانين ۽ ضوابط ٺاهڻ.

(ب) لوڪلبورڊ ۽ سنڌ اسيمبلي جي عيوضين چونڊڻ جو انتظام ڪرڻ.

(ج) صحت، تعليم، زراعت ۽ آمد رفت وغيره متعلق.

سڌارن بابت جدوجهد ۽ قانون بحال ڪرائڻ.

(د) هر هڪ 18 سالن جي بالغ مرد ۽ عورت کي ووٽ جو حق ڏيڻ.

(هه) سڄي سنڌ لاءِ هڪ اخبار (هاري حقدار) شايع ڪرڻ جا هارين جي خدمت لاءِ هجي.

(و) مڪمل شهري آزاديءَ جا اصول قائم ڪرڻ ۽ اخبارن جي آزادي، علم خير جي آزادي.

(ز) ڪرمنل ٽرائيز ائڪٽ ۽ سنڌ فرنٽيئر ائڪٽ کي منسوخ ڪرڻ، جن جي ذريعي غريب هارين کي ستايو وڃي ٿو. وغيره وغيره.

تعليم

جهالت جهڙي بيماري ڪافي علم ئي آهي جو ماڻهوءَ کي باخبر ۽ انسان بڻائي ٿو. علم حقيقي خزائون آهي ڪنهن به قوم جي ترقيءَ ۽ خوشحاليءَ جو اندازو ان جي علمي طاقت مان لڳائي سگهجي ٿو.

اسان جي ديس ۾ هڪ ته علم ۽ تعليم گهٽ آهي ۽ ٻيو ته تعليمي سرشتو غلط آهي.

تعليم جو بنيادي حڪومت تي آهي، انگريزن جڏهن هندستان تي قبضو تڏهن هنن کي کپندا هئا ڪلارڪ ۽ تپيدار عملدار اهو امڪان نه هو ته ڪلارڪ به انگلينڊ مان اچن. انگلينڊ جو ڪلارڪ ٻه سئو رپيا کان گهٽ اچي نٿو سگهي. هندستان ۾ 30 رپين جو جيترا گهر اوترا موجود. انهيءف سبب اسان جي ديس جي تعليم اڪٿر ڪلارڪن، وڪيلن ۽ ماسترن پيدا ڪرڻ لاءِ آهي. هاري ڪاميٽيءف جو مطلب آهي تعليم جي سرشتي کي ڦيرائڻ. اڄڪلهه هاري جو ڇوڪر جيڪڏهن پڙهيو ته هر کان به ڇٽو ۽ نبوڪري ملڻ به محال، اٽلو هڪ ٻوجهه ٿيو پوي. اسڪولن ۾ هنري، زراعتي تعليم جو درج ڪرڻ تمام ضروري آهي جيئن شاگردن کي اها تعليم ڪارگر بڻائي ۽ محتاجي کان بچائي.

تعليم بنسبت هيٺان اپاءَ سنڌ هاري ڪاميٽيءَ جي سامهون آهن.

ابتدائي تعليم:

ڀينر انهيءَ ڳالهه جي، آءُ ظاهرڪيان ذري

لڳي ماٺ مون کي ڏونگر پون ڏري

وڻ ٽڻ وڃين ٻري اوڀر اڀري ڪا نه ڪا.

اهڙو حال آهي، ياد رکو اي ملڪ جا ماڻهو! اوهين رنگ محلن ۽ گهوڙن ۽ گاڏين تي سوٽن ۽ ڊٽن ۾ وڳن ۽ ڌڳن ۾ گذاريو ٿا. پلاون جا چشڪا وٺو ٿا، ياد رکو اي ديس جا ڀائرو! اهو اسان جو عيش ۽ اها اسان جي خوشي مرو ان موت ۽ ملوڪان شڪار واري آهي، ياد رکو ته دنيا ۾ جو اڄ انقلاب متو آهي، تنهن انقلاب جو بنياد فقط علم جي بک آهي. بک بڇڙي بلا دانهن ديوانا ڪري. اهو بک جو ڀوت ساري عالم ۾ اونهون انقلاب اٿاري رهيو آهي، جي اسين هندستان جا ماڻهو ڀانيون ته اسان جي ملڪ ۾ دوزخ نه اٿي، جي ڀانيون ته اسان جو ڀلو ٿئي ۽ خير سان گذري ته ڇڏيو غفلت ڪشو ڪمر اٿي هنن مظلومن، مسڪينن، اڌرن، نڌرن ڇوڪريءَ لاءِ هيءَ رعايت (انتخاب امتحان جي نتيجي ۽ بدلي لياقت موجب).

ڪاليجي تعليم

(الف) ميڊيڪل ڪاليج حيدرآباد: هر سال هڪ سئو هاري ڇوڪر ۽ ڇوڪريون ڪاليج ۽ موڪلڻ (ڪاليج في بورڊنگ هائوس في معاف امتحان جي نتيجي ۽ بدلي موجب انتخاب).

(ز) هر هڪ اسڪول ۾ ڪثرتن ۽ لازمي ۽ وندر جو سامان جو رکڻ.

جيءُ خوش جهان خوش، بيمار ضعيف ماڻهو دنيا ۾ ڪارگر نٿو ٿئي. تندرست ۽ مضبوط انسان ئي دنيا ۾ خوش گذاري سگهي ٿو ۽ ٻين لاءِ به آرام ۽ خوشيءَ جو باعث بڻجي سگهي ٿو.

تندرستيءَ لاءِ پهرين جوابداري والدين تي آهي خصوصن ماءُ تي.

(الف) هندستان ۾ هڪ هزار ويم پٺيان 50 زالون مرن ٿيون. انگلينڊ ۾ هڪ هزار پٺيان 5 زالون مرن ٿيون. هندستان ۾ هڪ سئو ٻارن مان 50 ٻار پهرين ٻن سالن ۾ مري ٿا وڃن ۽ انگلينڊ ۾ فقط پنج ٻار! پهريون پهريون فرض آهي ته هر هڪ ڳوٺ ۾ سند يافته دائي يا نرس موجود ڪرڻ.

(ج) هر هڪ ڳوٺ ۾ جتي آدمشماري هڪ هزار آهي اتي تور جو ڪانٽو رکڻ جتي هر هڪ ماڻهو هر مهيني پنهنجو وزن چڪاسي سگهي.

زراعت:

کيتي هڪ هنر آهي جنهن لاءِ علم ۽ سمجهه کپي. سالن جي کوجنائي بعد نوان نوان ڪڻڪن، سارين ۽ ڪپهن جا قسم پيدا ڪيا ويا آهن جن کي عام بيماريون جهڙوڪه رتي ۽ محلو خراب نٿيون ڪن ۽ جيڪي پيدائش به زياده ڏين ٿيون.

پوک ڪرڻ سان زمين جون معدني طاقتون ان ۽ گاهه رستي نڪري وڃن ٿيون تنهنڪري زمين آخر طاقت ۾ گهٽجي وڃي ٿي، شڪي پئي ٿي، پر ساڳئي وقت اهڙا فصل به آهن جي هوا ۽ سج جي ڪرڻن جي طاقت جذب ڪري پنهنجي پاڙن ۾ قابو ڪن ٿا، جنهن ڪري اهي فصل زمين کي ٿڪائڻ بجاءِ زرخيز ڪن ٿا. اهڙا فصل آهن. مٽر، سڻي، گوار وغيره هنن کي سائو ڀاڻ ڪوٺبو آهي. واري سان اهي فصل ۽ اناج جي فصل ڪرڻ سان پيدائش ۾ وٺي سگهجي ٿي ۽ زمين جي طاقت به هلي اچي ٿي هن لاءِ زراعتي علم جو ضرور آهي.

زراعتي ماهرن هٿرادو ڀاڻ ٺاهيا آهن جيڪي ولايت ۾ وڏي پيماني تي نوٽ هن کانپوءِ

حقدار هاري هوشيار ٿيو

پنهنجي مادر وطن مٺڙي سنڌ جا هاري، مزدور، شاگرد، سياسي ۽ سماجي ورڪر ۽ وچولي طبقي جا انسانو! ايندڙ مهيني آڪٽوبر 1970ع جو مهينو اوهان لاءِ امتحان جو مهينو اچي رهيو آهي. پاڪستان جي 23 سالن ۾ اهم ۽ فيصلي ڪن مهينو، انسان جي آبرو، عزت ۽ غيرت جي پرک جو مهينو، سنڌ خواهه پاڪستان ۾ 23 سالن ۾ جمهوريت سان ٿيل زيادتين ۽ زوراورين جي حساب ڪتاب جو مهينو، سياسي جاهلن ۽ ڪاهلن، ڪوڙن ۽ دوکيباز سياسي سانڊن کي سندن ڪيل ڪڌن ڪرتوتن ۽ قوم ۽ وطن سان ڪيل غدارين جي مزي چکائڻ جو مهينو اچي رهيو آهي. سنڌ کي شڪار گاهه بڻائڻ، ڪامورا شاهي جي چاپلوسن ۽ خوشامد ڪندڙ سياسي وڏيرن کي سنڌ جي سياست ۽ قيادت کان هميشه هميشه لاءِ هٽائڻ جو مهينو اچي رهيو آهي. سنڌ جي مٺڙي زمين کي 15 سال غلام بڻائي اسيمبلي ميمبريون، وزارتون ۽ پرمٽون وڍي سنڌ جي سياست ۽ سٻاجهڙي سنڌي عوام کي خوار ۽ بدنام ڪندڙن کان حساب وٺڻ جو مهينو اچي رهيو آهي.

هو وري به اسلام، خدا ۽ رسول، قرآن، دوستي، پاڙي پتيءَ جي ننگ جا نالا وٺي اوهان کي لٽڻ، ڦٽڻ ۽ تباهه ۽ برباد ڪرڻ لاءِ اچي رهيا آهن. هن کان اڳ اوهان گهڻائي دفعا هنن ظالمن کان دوکا کائي چڪا آهيو. اوهان پنهنجي ساده لوهي ۽ شرافت ۾ اچي هنن جي هٿن بيوقوف ٿي وطن ۽ وطن جي زمين سان ظلم ڪري چڪا آهيو. هاڻي دوکا بلڪل نه کائجو، هاڻي سدا هرگز نه ٿجو، هاڻي هنن ڪوڙين ۽ فريبي نيزارين، دوکي ڏيندر دم دلاسن ۾ هرگز نه اچجو. دنيا گهڻو اڳتي وڌي وئي آهي ۽ اسين گهڻو پوئتي رهجي ويا آهيون. هاڻي وساهه جا سڀ دروازا بند ٿي چڪا آهن، هاڻي صبر جو پيالو پُر ٿي چڪو آهي، هاڻي ذلتن ۽ خوارين کي گهڻو گلي پائي چڪا آهيون ۽ هنن پراڻين پاپين کي هڪ دفعو نه بلڪه بار بار آزمايو ويو آهي. هنن ان جو غلط مطلب ڪڍيو، هنن اهو سمجهيو ته هو هن ملڪ جي سياهه سفيد جا مالڪ آهن، ست پيڙهيا خاندان پاندان آهن. ڪرسين ۽ ميمبرين جا خانداني حقدار ۽ وارث، سهنا ۽ سمجهدار جاگيردار موروثي مهندار آهن. هڪ ٻئي ۾ وڙهي ٺهي ورهاستون ڪري حصه رسي ڪري کائڻ جا ڪوڏيا ۽ سياسي سمجهدار آهن. هي هڪ ٻه سئو ماڻهو ملڪ ۾ موچارا آهن، باقي سئو سيڪڙو سنڌ جا رهواسي بيوقوف، جاهل، ڄٽ، ان سهڻا، ۽ هنن جا ڪڙمي، ڪمي، نوڪر چاڪر، ڪاراوا ۽ ڪمدار آهن، خدا جا نه پر هنن جا وفادار ماڻهو آهن.

اچو ته انهن منجهيل منهن زور موروثي منگتن کي ماٺ ڪرايون. هو وري به نوان سرتال ۽ نوان سرندا کڻي وفاداريون جتائي نوان ناٽڪ رچائي، نئين وفادارين ۽ مختلف پارٽين سان پنهنجا پيچ پائي ملهن وارا سنڌرا ٻڌي سامهون اچي رهيا آهن.

دوستو ۽ ساٿيو! زهر جي گوليءَ مٿان سون جا ورق چاڙهڻ سان زهر جي گولي سون ڪو نه ٿي پوندي. زهر، زهر آهي ۽ رهندو، گولي اندر ۽ دم ٻاهر. سوچڻ ۽ سمجهڻ جو وقت اچي ويو آهي. پنهنجي آزمائش ۽ امڙ سنڌ سان ناتي نڀائڻ جو وقت اچي ويو آهي، نئين قيادت کي پراڻي قيادت جي جاءِ تي آڻڻ جو وقت اچي ويو آهي، وطن سان ننگ نڀائڻ جو وقت اچي ويو اهي، عمل جو وقت اچي ويو آهي، پاڻ ۾ پراڻين ۽ بيڪار دشمنين کي ڀلجي وڃڻ جو وقت اچي ويو آهي. اچو ته اڄ سڀئي گڏجي، سڀ سياسي سمجهون هڪ پاسي رکي هڪ ئي سمجهه، هڪ ئي سياست ۽ هڪ ئي خيال رکي سنڌ جي مٺي مهراڻ جي موجن جو قسم کائي وعدو ڪريون ته هڪ جاءِ تي به انهن پراڻن سياسي سانڊن، پاپين، پاٿاريدارن، دوڪاندارن، بي وفا بڙده فروشن ۽ وطن جي وڪڻندڙ واپارين کي اڄ کانپوءِ هرگز هرگز سياسي قيادت ڪرڻ نه ڏني ويندي، چاهي هو ڪهڙو به نئون چولو پائي اچن، ووٽ قوم جي امانت آهي، ووٽ سنڌ جو آهي.

ووٽ هڪ نهايت ئي قيمتي هٿيار آهي. هاڻي مٺڙي ۽ ڏتڙيل سنڌ جي سرزمين، پياريل پاڻي خواه کير يا کاڌو، ان جي نمڪ حلاليءَ جي گهر ڪري رهي آهي. دوستو مرڪي مادر مهربان سنڌ جو منهن مٿي ڪريو، اٿو! اٿي سنڌ امڙ جي سينڌ ۾ سرمو پايو ننگ سڃاڻو ۽ ننگ نڀايو. نيڻن مان نڪتل لڙڪن جي لڄ رکو.

ايندڙ مهيني آڪٽوبر 1970ع تائين هر ڪم، هر ڪاروبار ۽ هر عيش ۽ آرام ڇڏي پنهنجون سموريون صلاحيتون سهڻي سنڌ جي حوالي ڪريو. شهر بحر، جهرجهنگ ۾ عزم ۽ استقلال سان نڪري نروار ٿيو. سنڌ جا ننڍڙا ننڍڙا نماڻا نماڻا نيڻ کڻي اوهان ڏي واجهائي رهيا آهن. سنڌ جون ڀينرون ۽ مائرون اوهان ڏي ننگ نڀائڻ لاءِ ڳوڙهن ڀريا نيڻ کڻي نهاري رهيون آهن. ڇا اڃا به اوهان غفلت جي ننڊ ۾ مدهوش رهندا؟ سنڌ جا وڻ ٽڻ مايوس ۽ اداس ۽ سڪل ٽاريون سورن جا سڏڪا ڀري پنهنجي ڪاٺيرن ۽ لامون لاهيندڙن کي لڄائي رهيون آهن. ڇيڪا ۽ ليلا پلڙن ۽ پاپڙن لاءِ ٻاڪاري رهيا آهن. توڏا ۽ توڏيون پسي ۽ پيرن لاءِ پريشان آهن. سنڌوءَ جي ڪناري ڪرڙيون ماريندڙ ڪوڏيا پنهنجا رڇ ۽ رسا ويڙهي ڪڙيون ڪڇن ۾ هڻي مهراڻ مٿان ماتم ڪندا ٻيلن ۾ ٻاڪاري رهيا آهن. مينهون ۽ ميهار سنڌوءَ جي سڪل سير تي ترڻ بدران تانگي رهيا آهن. ڪارن ڪڪرن کي گور سان گوري رهيا آهن. شل اهي ئي ڪارا ڪڪر ڪجهه ڪرم ڪن.

”واڪا ڪرڻ مون وس،

ٻڌڻ ڪم ٻروچ جو.“

سنڌ دائم رهي، سنڌ قائم رهي، سنڌ سجاڳ رهي. سنڌ جو هاري، مزدور، شاگرد، سياسي ۽ سماجي نوجوان ۽ وچولي درجي جو پڙهيل خواه اڻ پڙهيل انسان اٿي ۽ پنهنجي سون سالن جا وڃايل ۽ وساريل حق هٿ ڪري ۽ شل حق حقدارن کي ملن. (آمين)

”سلطاني سهاڳ ننڍو ڪندي نه ملي“ لاکيڻا لطيف ايندڙ آڪٽوبر ۾ سنڌ جي سپوتن لاءِ ڌڻيءَ در التجا ڪري لڄ رکجانءِ. پنڌ پري پيچرا پرخار آهن. واٽن تي واسينگ ڦڻ ڪڍيو ڦوڪارا پيا ڏين. مرلين کان معاملو مٿي چڙهيل آهي ۽ هٿ ۾ حبيبن جي نڪا لڪڻ نڪا لٺ فقط آسرو الله جو ۽ حق پرستي، عزم ۽ استقلال جي اوٽ اٿن. اميد ته درويشن جي منزل دور نه آهي.
