Shafi Burfat, Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), has leveled serious allegations against the Punjabi military establishment and Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI. He accuses them of orchestrating ethnic tensions in Sindh by manipulating social media to create strife between Sindhi-speaking and Urdu-speaking communities.
Burfat claims that these tensions are not random but part of a calculated strategy. He warns that state actors are spreading divisive messages under the guise of regular citizens to disrupt unity and hinder Sindh's freedom struggle. Highlighting past collaborations with the military, he cautions against figures like Urdu-speaking politician Afaq Ahmed, suggesting their involvement in detrimental narratives.
Emphasizing the shared identity of all Sindh residents, regardless of language or religion, Burfat advocates for unity against these schemes. He plans to expose the full extent of this alleged conspiracy via a Facebook live session, drawing parallels with historical events like Bangladesh's 1971 independence struggle. His message is a call for solidarity and resistance against divisive forces.
