KARACHI: Acting Governor Sindh Agha Siraj Khan Durrani said Friday that murder of any person is a condemnable act while destroying private property is equally a shameful conduct.

This he said while talking to a 19-member delegation of Pakhtoon Community led by Shafiullah here at Governor House. He said that Hyderabad incident was very unfortunate while its reaction was also uncalled for. “Sindh is a land of Sufis and Saints who have always preached love, harmony and brotherhood, he added.

Durrani further said that some miscreants were bent upon hatching conspiracies and pitching brothers against each other on linguistic basis. The people of the province with their unity would foil any such attempt, he added. The acting Sindh governor said: “Pakhtoons are engaged in various businesses in the province and as such they are playing a vital role in provincial economy.”

He appealed to all linguistic groups living in the province to be aware of such miscreants and avoid any rumours which were spread for dividing brother. “Government would take stern action against persons taking law into their own hands and such elements would face exemplary punishment,” he opined.

The head of the delegation, Shafiullah assured acting governor that being a peaceful community, Pakhtoons would extend all possible help to Sindh government as they considered Sindh as their home. He also pledged not to fall prey to any miscreant group or mob and maintain peace and harmony in the province.
