I will say only one thing that if the members of Sindh Roundtable Conference Committee wants to discuss about Sind and Sindhis then they should conduct this conference in Sindh not outside of Sindh. Then we will think that all memebers really want to do something for Sindh otherwise this conference will be just like a get together.
SINDH ROUNDTABLE CONFERENCE.
It is a good move to bring sindhi leadership on the table to discuss all the issues being faced by sindh at the moment. While organizing this type of gathering proper homework must be ascetained. Though in the past many leaders of sindh based political parties have flown abroad, but those visits proved only get to gathers. In my opinion after conducting this event all such gatherings should be organized in sindh at the grassroot level. It is unfortunate that our political workers are not being trained properly by their political parties, resultantly general public do not listen or ownto them. Further our political workers have never been the role model for the people. As such National political forces have completely failed to appeal the people for joing the struggle. More Importantly it should also be ascertained that the leaders who have no moral values in the society, should be isolated from the mega struggle of the Freedom. I painfully bring to the mind of my friends who are making efforts to streamline the struggle of sindh must ensure picking the quality wise leadership to attend this rountable conference. Preference should be given to those who have good character and values in the society of sindh. Those who have no any credibility in the society must be left alone. It is most important that young leadership with all the qualities should be invited to participate in the Conference to achieve good and productive results.
In the end I congratulate all the friends making efforts for sindhi people and Sindh. My best wishes are for the success of Sindh Roundtable Conference.
