Following the Sindh Culture Day that was observed across the province on Saturday, a large number of people gathered outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Sunday to celebrate the Sindh Ekta (Unity) Day. The province’s culture and unity days are usually celebrated in the first week of December, but they are being observed early this year in view of the sanctity of Muharramul Haram that starts in a week.
On Sunday, celebrators, including countless women and children, dressed up in new clothes and sported ajraks and Sindhi topis (caps) as they rallied towards the KPC where the central ceremony of the event was held. Political activists of nationalist parties, including the Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, the Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party, the Awami Tehreek and the Sindhiyani Tehreek, were also present on the occasion.
Many Muttahida Qaumi Movement activists gathered at the ceremony as well to express solidarity with the other people of the province.
Besides common citizens and politicians, a large number of Sindhi singers, musicians and artistes also participated in the central ceremony and paid rich tributes to their motherland.
Following the call of the Kawish Television Network (KTN) for observing the unity day to display solidarity among the Sindhi-speaking masses, the event was celebrated not only in Karachi, but throughout Sindh. The province’s culture and unity day was celebrated for the first time on December 6, 2009 (as the Sindhi Topi Day) as a backlash to the comments of anchorman Dr Shahid Masood who had criticised President Asif Ali Zardari for wearing a Sindhi cap on his foreign tours. People across the province condemned Masood’s comments via SMS, which ultimately resulted in the announcement of celebrating the Sindhi Topi Day. Moreover, the KTN Group had started issuing a call for observing a unity day, and a large number of people responded to the call and started celebrating the culture and the unity days.
