SPEECH OF SARDAR MUHAMMAD USMAN SOOMRO, IN SINDH ASSEMBLY ABOUT PAKISTAN RESOLUTION MOVE BY GM SYED ON 18TH MARCH, 1943. Mr. SARDAR MUHAMMAD USMAN SOOMRO: (In Sindhi.) Sir, the resolution introduced by Honourable Member Mr. G. M. Sayed created misunderstandin g in my mind but it has been removed by the speech of Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid. We have read the proposals of Sir Strafford Crip...ps. They were worthy proposals. According to them, every Province would have enjoyed its independence while joining union or remaining as a unit. It was ill-luck that the proposals were not accepted by Hindus, Muslims and #Congress. Sir Strafford Cripps went back without any agreement. There isno question of Hindu or Muslim, every body would be eager to see the independence of Sindh. That independence...does not mean that our Sindh Province should be combined with Baluchistan, Punjab or Pakistan or withother provinces. By doing so Sind would be put in dark, because majority would be theirs; similarly it was said by Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid in his speech. The population of #Punjab and #Baluchistan is greater and if #Sindh is combined with them, it would suffer. It may take place that some deserts and frontiers might be put along with Sind, and be an unnecessary burden onit. The Sind province has got its own sufficient income and therefore it would be beneficial if it remains separate. Considering these points it can be said that the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps are up to the mark and it would be better if they are accepted by Sind. Now the question remains, whether the provinces should join together. This should be decided at the timewhen a question pertaining to all the provinces arises, for example, the dispute ofIndus Water. For such matters and quarrels a tribunal would be appointed. By this kind of independence Muslims as well as Hindus would be gainers. It would be the duty of majority to protect the rights of minority. If separated, everyProvince would feel its responsibility to meet the expenditure within its income. With these words I support the resolution.
