Sindh Minister for Culture Sassui Palijo Thursday said Pakistan Peoples Party was opposed to any division of Sindh province.
She said, “We have passed the resolution in Sindh Assembly against such conspiracy and added that no one opposed the resolution that reflected the boundaries of Sindh should be remained intact”.
The minister said while addressing a memorial evening in the name of eminent writer, intellectual late Abdul Aziz Jafrani arranged by Provincial Culture Department at High School Sujawal last night. Sassui Palijo said PPP was the only party representing the people of Sindh and other provinces of the country and had rendered many sacrifices in the interest of poor people.
She said until and unless the legislators are sitting in the assemblies and poor people are with the PPP, no one can dare to harm the nation through conspiracies. She vowed even to scarify dearest and nearest to foil such conspiracies.
She said today some politicians were welcoming to the so-called leaders of Pro-Kala Bagh Dam which according to her, neither were friends of Sindh nor country as well because the Kala Bagh Dam was the project against integrity of the country.
