London [UK], April 27 (ANI): The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) held a seminar titled “G.M. Syed – Leader of Oppressed Nations” in London to mark the 31st death anniversary of G.M. Syed, the JSFM said in a press release.
The event included participants from Sindhi, Baloch, Pashtun, and Kashmiri communities, with additional speakers joining virtually from the United States and Canada. Proceedings opened with the Sindhudesh national anthem and a traditional reception where guests received Ajraks.
Speakers at the seminar included JSFM Chairman Sohail Abro, Maqbool Halepoto, Zulfiqar Ali Khwaja, Qambar Malik Baloch, Hidayat Bhutto, Hafeez Baloch, Javed Khattak, Jasim Baloch, Sardar Amjad Yousaf, Syed Alam Mehsud, Sarang Hyder, Imdad Ali Odho, Barkhana Afghan, and Mansoor Hub.
They paid tribute to G.M. Syed, recalling that on March 31, 1973, he presented the idea of Sindhudesh and remained committed to it. Speakers said he championed the rights of Sindhis, Baloch, Pashtuns, Saraikis, Kashmiris, and the people of Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB), and promoted human unity, global peace, and progress. They also noted his cooperation with leaders such as Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Abdul Samad Achakzai, Makhdoom Riaz Hashmi, and Muhammad Hussain Anqa, and reiterated commitment to his ideology.
The seminar adopted resolutions calling for recognition of the right to self-determination for Sindh, Balochistan, Pashtunistan, Saraikistan, PoJK, and PoGB; demands for withdrawal of what was described as “Punjabi domination”; and calls for referendums under United Nations supervision. Participants sought UN monitoring and oversight of any transfer of authority to local populations.
Resolutions also demanded an immediate end to military operations in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, PoJK, and PoGB, legal action in international courts over alleged human rights violations, and the release of all missing persons and political prisoners. The release list specifically included Ali Wazir, Mahrang Baloch, associates of Nasim Baloch, Ustad Waheed Qambar, Talib Laghari, Sohail Bhatti, and Ayub Kandhro. The participants also called for withdrawal of arrest warrants against Manzoor Pashteen, chairman of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement. (ANI)
