Lawyers’ movement & Sindhiat: Patriotism last refuge of a scoundrel?

Opposition to the glorious lawyers’ movement for justice in the name of Sindhiat or due to any other nationalistic considerations is a serious crime in my eyes and it borders on naked racism. I think minority nations/nationaliti es in Pakistan need justice and democracy more than anyone else.

This short-sighted and crooked attitude helps us clearly understand the centuries’ old famous saying by Dr Samuel Johnson that: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Some may however like to add “False” in front of “patriotism”.
