NEW DELHI: BJP National Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain on Monday backed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s recent remarks suggesting that “Sindh may return to India, ” saying that without Sindh, “there is no Hind.”
The Defence Minister had earlier stated that the people of Sindh would always be regarded as India’s own, a comment that drew strong reactions across political circles.
Speaking to IANS, Shahnawaz Hussain said, “What's the identity of Hind without Sindh. Our national anthem is incomplete without Sindh. Rajnath Singh has said something very beautiful. People across the country are happy with his statement. We know that one day Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir will also return to us, and Sindh cannot remain separate from us for long.”
He added that the lack of development in Sindh contributes to dissatisfaction among its people.
“There is no development in Sindh. They look at Mumbai and feel disheartened. So, without Sindh, there is no Hind. And this dream will be fulfilled one day, ” he said.
