US asked to reach out to the Sindhi population in Pakistan - The Times of India

WASHINGTON: With the popularity of the United States inside Pakistan at an all-time low, an influential American lawmaker has asked the State Department to make efforts to reach out directly to the country's population, in particular the Sindhis.

"Pakistan is a nuclear-armed Islamic state on the front line of several conflicts with so many extremist groups. Pakistan is a pressing international problem for us. My hope is that you are reaching out to the Pakistani people -- not just in Urdu, which is the politically correct language that the government and the ISI in Pakistan would have you use, but also in the other languages, particularly Sindhi," Congressman Brad Sherman, said during a Congressional hearing yesterday.

Sherman alleged that the people of Sindh, predominantly those who speak Sindhi language, have been under attack by governmental bodies.


"That's why the government of Pakistan would just as soon you not use that language. They're so helpful in so many ways that perhaps you might want to ignore their advice," he said.


"The US must reach out to Sindh, where the Sindhi language is spoken by more people than Urdu," Sherman said in his remarks at the hearing of the terrorism, non-proliferation, and trade subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Looks like after Balochistan, Sindh (karachi) is the new playground for USA/CIA

Brad Sherman is a great friend of Sindhis.

Sherman alleged that the people of Sindh, predominantly those who speak Sindhi language, have been under attack by governmental bodies.

Quite interesting.

Pakistani media sources are reporting it too. If you know how to use Google, you will find these articles.

The original source in the OP is TOI.
Regardless of the source, its still garbage and doesn't reflect the ground realities.

After failing with Punjabis, Pathans and Balochs - US is trying to find new lame excuses. This time..using sindhi language. May we ask what results did using Pashto produced in KP and Afghanistan? NIL!!! why? because actions speak louder than words!

Like actually Sindhi speaking? Or Mohajirs who happen to live in Karachi? Because I think the article is referring to actual Sindhis who have been living there since before partition, not the post-1947 Muhajir crowd.

With respect Mr.Senator - Leave us the foOk alone ! The Sindhis, the Punjabis, the Pukhtoons, the Baloch, the Kashmiris and about another dozen different major ethno-linguistic groups in Pakistan who don't speak Urdu as their mother tongue are proud to call it our National Language ! Next time do a bit more research you American twat !!!

First of all a word of Times of India. It seems like a mainstream Indian paper but in sensationalism and emotional reporting, it trumps tabloids of Rupert Murdoch variety.

About the US congressmen. Never seen such a big bunch of idiots at one place and representing a world superpower. I wonder how the two ironies - idiots and representing superpower exist together.

About the topic. Where do these idiots see Sindhi persecution? From the leading politicians of the country to the leading sufi saints, Sindh is the pride of Pakistan. The Americans are developing a habit of intervening in countries to break them from within by inciting war from within. Indians might enjoy it as they perceive it to be happening to Pakistan but those are trying to do this will not stop at us and you could be the next stop. So this trend must be stopped.
