Pakistan’s establishment has played dangerous political games with the very provinces that created the country.
- Ch. Amir’s plan is not development. It is a politically corrupt attempt to weaken Sindh, and the people of Sindh reject it completely and thoroughly.

Ch.. Amir’s so-called “plan” to divide Sindh is nothing more than another recycled, Army-manufactured script—one that has already failed repeatedly for 75 years. Coming to Sindh with this tired formula does not make him a reformer; it exposes him as yet another mouthpiece sent to experiment on smaller provinces while the real centers of power remain untouched.
For decades, Pakistan’s establishment has played dangerous political games with the very provinces that created the country. The founders of Pakistan came from Sindh, Balochistan, NWFP, and Bengal—not from GHQ. Yet the same small provinces have been the testing ground for every unconstitutional experiment, every military adventure, and every failed “administrative engineering” presented as national reform.
Ch.. Amir’s plan is no different.
It is corrupt, opportunistic, and intellectually bankrupt.
- Dividing Provinces Will Not Bring Development—Fixing Governance Will
When you cannot run five provinces without:
- Corruption,
- Injustice,
- Missing persons,
- Resource exploitation,
- And unequal distribution of power, then talking about 20 or 30 new provinces is laughable ignorance.
No nation in the world creates new provinces when the existing ones are already suffering from poor governance and military interference.
- Why Only Smaller Provinces? Why Not Break Punjab?
The journalist conveniently avoids the obvious question:
If division brings development, why is Punjab never divided?
Because:
- The Army’s power base is there.
- Bureaucracy is there.
- Political protection is there.
Every time “division” is discussed, the target magically becomes Sindh, Balochistan, or KP.
That exposes the real intention—not development, but control.
- Sindh Will Not Allow Another Colonial Experiment
Sindh is a historic nation thousands of years old, older than most modern states.
Its unity is not a drawing on a military map.
Every previous attempt to divide Sindh failed, and this one will fail too because:
- Sindhi people are politically aware.
- They know the cost of division: occupation of resources, weakening of rights, and loss of autonomy.
- They have seen this drama from Ayub, Zia, Musharraf, and now the “new planners.”
We will not accept another artificial province created to serve the Army’s urban real-estate interests or political control.
- Fulfill the Original Objectives First
Sindh agreed to join Pakistan on promises of:
- Autonomy under the Lahore Resolution 1940
- Equal share in resources
- Protection of culture and language
- Respect for provincial rights
Not a single one of these promises was fulfilled.
Instead, we were given:
- Military operations
- Land grabbing
- Demographic engineering
- Control of Karachi’s ports and revenue
- And now, another attempt at division
Fix the broken promises first, before selling new fantasies.
- Mr. Amir Khan Has Already Failed
Amir’s previous “grand ideas” collapsed because they lacked:
- Credibility,
- Sincerity,
- And public support.
He failed in Punjab.
He failed in national journalism.
And he will fail in Sindh too—because Sindh can clearly see who sent him and why.
Conclusion
Sindh does not need lectures from outside journalists working on behalf of unelected powers.
Sindh needs justice, autonomy, and respect for its historic boundaries—not more experiments from Islamabad or Rawalpindi.
Ch. Amir’s plan is not development.
It is a politically corrupt attempt to weaken Sindh, and the people of Sindh reject it completely and thoroughly.
