President Zardari’s Message
In his message on the occasion, President Asif Ali Zardari said Sindh holds a unique historical and cultural status, especially after its separation from the Bombay Presidency, which helped it establish a distinct constitutional and cultural identity.
He noted that Sindh was the first province in undivided India whose assembly passed a resolution in favour of a separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent.
The president also highlighted the richness of the Sindhi language, terming it one of the most developed languages in the country, as reflected by the large number of newspapers, television and radio channels operating in Sindhi.
