Sohail Abro, Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM), has strongly condemned the unprovoked firing by Pakistani forces on the peaceful Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) Jirga in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which resulted in the deaths of three PTM workers and left many others injured.
Abro described the incident as part of the Pakistani state's ongoing systematic oppression and genocide against marginalised communities, including the Pashtun, Baloch, and Sindhi nations, who have long suffered under Punjabi imperialism. He highlighted that the state's violent response to peaceful political movements aims to silence voices calling for justice, autonomy, and basic human rights for oppressed groups within the country. He warned that such assaults are indicative of a broader campaign of ethnic repression and militarisation targeting not only the Pashtuns but also other persecuted nations, such as the Baloch and Sindhis. Abro called on international human rights organisations--including the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Amnesty International, and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP)--to urgently address this heinous act and hold the Pakistani state accountable for its grave human rights violations. He stressed that the international community can no longer overlook the atrocities and systemic oppression being perpetrated by the state. "The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement stands in full solidarity with the Pashtun nation and the PTM in their fight for justice and dignity. The unity of oppressed nations is our greatest strength, and together, we will ultimately overcome the tyranny of the Pakistani state through our collective and determined struggle for freedom and self-determination," said Sohail Abro. He reiterated JSFM's unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights of all oppressed nations in Pakistan and vowed to continue the struggle against state-sponsored violence and oppression. The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) is a political and nationalist movement in Pakistan, primarily focused on advocating for the rights and autonomy of the Sindhi people in the Sindh province. Founded in the late 20th century, the movement seeks to address issues related to Sindhi identity, culture, and political representation, often opposing perceived injustices and exploitation by the central government. The JSFM promotes the idea of an independent Sindh or greater autonomy within Pakistan, emphasizing cultural preservation, economic development, and self-determination. (ANI)
