JSMM chief seeks international referendum on self-determination in Pakistan
Shafi Muhammad Burfat has asked the United Nations, international rights bodies and governments to begin an international process, WebIndia123 reported.
Shafi Muhammad Burfat, chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz, has called on the United Nations, international human rights organisations and governments to begin an international process that would lead to a referendum on self-determination in Pakistan, WebIndia123 reported.
The report said Burfat described self-determination as an issue requiring international examination. It did not specify where or when he made the remarks, which countries or organisations he addressed, or what arrangement he envisioned beyond a referendum. The outlet carried only the headline and the opening of his statement, and did not include a response from Pakistani authorities.
The JSMM is a Sindh-based nationalist party that has long campaigned on issues of Sindhi identity and autonomy. Burfat's call follows a pattern of demands by Sindhi nationalist groups for greater recognition of Sindhi rights, though most mainstream parties in the province operate within Pakistan's constitutional framework.
The claim could not be independently verified, and no further details were immediately available.
