SIND HAS A CASE

Image
English translation by Mohammad Ibrahim Joyo, of a draft communication which was forwarded to the Hon’ble Speaker, Sind Legislative Assembly, by Mr. G.M. Syed, Leader of Sind Peoples Front Assembly Party, for being submitted as a communication from the Assembly under Rule No. 115 of its Rules, to His Excellency the Governor of Sind. To, His Excellency, the Governor of Sind, Karachi. May it Please Your Excellency, The part played by the Province of Sind in the achievement of Pakistan, and the contribution she has since been making towards building it up are so out-standing that it is not even necessary to mention them when a corresponding appropriate place is urged for her in the Social, Cultural, Economic and Political set-up of our country.

Dear God master of the universe,compassionate and merciful,we who are steeped in sin kneel in supplication before your throne and beseech you to recall from this world Saadat Hasan Manto,son of Ghulam Hasan Manto,who was a man of great piety. Take him away ,Lord ,for he runs away from fragrance and chases after filth .He hates bright Sun,preferring dark labyrinths .He has nothing but contempt for modesty but is fascinated by the naked and the shameless. He hates sweetness ,but will give his life to taste bitter fruit.He will not so much as look at housewives but is in seventh heaven in company of whores.He will not go near running waters ,but loves to wade through dirt.

Bitter Fruit : The very best of Saadat Hasan Ma...
