I think the present Government has committed such attrocity in the eyes of establishment to plan towards decentralization and moving slowly towards provincial autonomy and recent cultural unity in Sindh where lacs of people gathered ,demonstrated their aspiration to be the Nation near to completion of its elements .
Now the Sindhi Nation has become a complete Nation.
Nation having a common language, common teretoritory, common culture,common economic connections.the later were not in its smooth shape everbefore.
