NEW DELHI:Prominent Sindh leader and chairman of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) Shafi Burfat has warmly welcomed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement suggesting that the region of Sindh might return to India soon.
In an extensive post on X, JSMM chief Burfat recently praised Singh’s “historic and insightful” remarks, framing them as a source of “encouragement” for the Sindhi nation.
In an address to the Sindhi community at an event hosted by the Vishwa Sindhu Foundation, Rajnath Singh recalled BJP veteran L K Advani’s words on the civilisational continuity between India and Sindh despite Partition.
Citing Advani, he said: “Sindhi Hindus, especially those of his generation, still haven’t accepted the matter of separation of Sindh from India.”
Singh went on to add, “Today, the land of Sindh may not be a part of India, but civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India … As far as land is concerned, borders can change. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India.” Burfat said the Sindhi nation “strongly acknowledges and appreciates” Singh’s position, describing it as a moral and political boost to Sindhudesh’s long-standing aspiration for independence and its potential confederal relationship with India.
