Sindh Assembly unanimously passes resolution against Indian defence minister’s remarks

Sindh Assembly on Thursday rejected the remarks of India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding the province as delusional and said they were a deliberate attempt to distort history.

The Sindh Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday, stating that the House unequivocally condemns the Defence Minister of India’s statement as delusional, inflammatory, and a deliberate distortion of history, made in violation of diplomatic norms and international law.

The resolution, moved by Excise Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla, said the assembly asserted with absolute clarity that Sindh is, and will forever remain, an inseparable and integral part of Pakistan, and rejected any narrative, however absurd, which suggested otherwise.

The lawmakers rejected with full force all revisionist, expansionist, and politically motivated claims emanating from India that attempt to rewrite the history of Sindh, Pakistan, or the movement for independence. 

It further condemned the extremist policies of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government that threaten regional peace, undermine civilisational heritage, weaponise water resources, and endanger the environmental security of millions. 

The resolution also called upon the government to pursue decisive diplomatic, legal, and multilateral action to protect the Indus River, defend Pakistan’s rights under international treaties, and hold India accountable for violations of water, environmental, or humanitarian norms. On Sunday, Rajnath Singh said that civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India, and that who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again.
