STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS A SINDHI

TAKE PRIDE IN BEING COUNTED AS A SINDHI

The first phase of Indian National Census for the whole country will be carried out from April 2010 to July 2010.

It is the duty of every Sindhi to ensure that each and every Sindhi and his whole family is positively registered as a Sindhi in the Census. This is not only a matter of great pride but also extremely important for Sindhi community to get due recoginition as well as some vital proprotionate benefits.

We all know that Sindhi community has near 100% literacy rate and high proficiency in English and local languages. Also, since every Sindhi can read and write Sindhi in Devnagri, Roman or Perso-Arabic script. Hence every Sindhi can state he or she is literate in Sindhi. I am sure every Sindhi will make conscious effort to ensure some Sindhi speaking capablity.

KARACHI: Sindh has lodged a formal protest with the federal government over what it termed deviation from the recommendations of the 7th National Finance Commission (NFC) Award, sources in the federal ministry of finance told Dawn.

The provincial government has complained that some key recommendations of the award relating to the multiple criteria and sales tax on services had been omitted from the President’s Order No 4 of 2010.

It has warned that if agreed amendments were not incorporated in the order Sindh might decide to distance itself from the award, sources maintained.
