Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army claims twin blasts targeting Rangers in Larkana

[Delnavaz B]

HYDERABAD: Twin blasts targeting a Rangers vehicle in Larkana on Saturday were claimed by the Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) in pamphlets found by police at the scene, a police source said on Sunday.

The explosions which took place near a Rangers kiosk on Mirokhan Road killed a soldier and injured 15 other people, including five Rangers personnel.

The pamphlet says the SRA has taken responsibility for the attack.

Deputy Inspector General Larkana Abdullah Shaikh said police are investigating the pamphlet but no arrests have been made as yet.

"It is premature to say anything at this point in the backdrop of this pamphlet," he said, adding that "responsibility for the blast is certainly claimed through this pamphlet."

The separatism movement in Sindh dates back to at least the early 1970s when G.M. Syed gave the call for an independent ‘Sindhudesh’ ─ a separate homeland for Sindhis.

From then onwards, nationalism in Sindh has taken on various forms and hues. The nationalists have ranged from those who choose to work for the province’s rights within the framework of Pakistan, to more militant outfits that support separatism through armed violence.

The attack on Rangers personnel comes as the extension of Rangers' policing powers from Karachi to the rest of Sindh is under debate.

Former Sindh chief minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah was set to make a decision on the issue when he was replaced by PPP's Murad Ali Shah.

Earlier this month, the paramilitary force released data regarding arrests made in interior Sindh, claiming to have arrested 533 criminals since September 2013

Sindhi separatist groups are the weakest among any separatist or any state group in Pakistan.

They have no public support nor have any active militancy setup. They are usually handled very easily using the police.

Nah this is work by some Uzair Baloch like goons to send a message to Army about not interfering in PP,s turf

true but they do have very strong support from India..and MQM and PPP is Indian conduit for potential support towards these separatist..because MQM And PPP is being squeezed in recent Karachi operations..it might be possible that they activated sleeper cells of sindhudesh terrorist..to divert attention..

Ppp has no links with india. Mqm has active links with Raw and specially their London office bearers.

Just a bunch of gangsters who cry they can't ruin the province so they demand independence so nobody can stop their criminal acts.

PPP has no links with India but it does have links with Uzair Baloch and Sindhi separatists!

PPP has no links with India but it does have links with Uzair Baloch and Sindhi separatists!

Uzair baloch was a local issue of karachi. He was patronized by Zulfiwar Mirza and uzair was on Iranian intelligence ay role. He even had an Iranian pass port, when he was arrested from dubai airport.

They aren't not even a separatist group. Just a bunch of thugs and goons working together when they feel that playing with peoples emotion will yield them some benefit. Once you go to Sindh, even interior Sindh, there is no big support or recognition of them. Some people may support them individually as regional parties but when they act as a group people are not welcoming to the idea of getting separate from Pakistan.

Separtist sentiment does not exist in Sindh. They are very patriotic and love their culture and history at the same time. The two are not mutually exclusive. People should try and understand what someone is trying to do here.

1. Throw investigators off the trail by introducing new angle.

2. Provoke sentiments in rest of Pakistanis against Sindhi populace. If this hatred grows, Sindhis will feel cornered, giving rise to ethnic parties and voila! You have a fertile ground to breed separtism now!

3. Draw LEAs to a new area and increasing their difficulties. A small incident would be overblown by specific media houses. Aim is to repeat lies so many time that some start to believe it.

In nutshell, aim is to drive new divisions against Sindhis who are very very patriotic. Be warned. Do not play in the hands of our enemies. Sindhis are as much Pakistanis as anyone else.
