Veteran Pakistani historian Dr. Mubarak Ali has said that there was no written agreement of people migrating from one place to another during the 1947 partition of the subcontinent, the impression on both sides was that the countries would be divided but the people would stay, where they were staying, but since there were riots in East and west Punjab that was why it was said that all the Muslims should migrate to East Punjab and all non-Muslims should go to West Punjab.

Institute of Business Administration (IBA) might conduct Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC)  lecturer BPS-17 screening test to maintain transparency, while SPSC has challenged this as it wants to conduct screening test by itself. In this regards WiseSindh came to know from an inner source of SPSC that courts have directed IBA to conduct the forth-coming screening test instead of SPSC, so that transparency could be maintained, however, SPSC was going to file a plea in this regards in higher courts due to which SPSC's announced tests for lecturer BPS-17 in various disciplines might be postponed as SPSC had already announced to conduct screening test in late February and early March.
