Demos recalled religious coexistence and condemned religious extremism. In his statement issued to media; Chairman of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) Mr. Shafi Muhammad Burfat said, “Roots of ideological existence of all the religions across world are fixed in the soil of Sindh. She has been the motherland of conscience, knowledge and philosophy. We the Sindhis have created and nourished the philosophies of Vedanta and Idealism. Sindh has been a center for unification of religions and humanity. This land, 28000 year ago, had provided the world with the precious pearls of philosophy and conscience through the ideology of existence of supernatural force “The God”, and his role in the existence, expansion and laws to govern the mechanism and phenomenon of the Universe. Not only this but ancestors had given the ideology of realization of God, from Lord Shiva & Shakti Devi to the mystic and metaphysical existence of the Lord, and it developed great civilizations and gave birth to various cultures and traditions. All the religions of the world owe the ancient Sindh’s Dravidian features of existentialism and idealism. From Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism to the teachings of Guru Naanak (Sikhism), all the religions are mere fractions of old teachings of Dravidian philosophy.”
“Till the day, Sindh bears an identity of the land that respects all the religions equally. Today, when the world is confronting religious extremism, Sindh observes the day of religious solidarity and harmony by giving all the religions, an equal due respect and importance and realizing Humanity as a base for unity. The sole aim of the day is to deliver the divine message of religious harmony and coexistence through respect of all religions politically.” he added. Chairman JSMM further said that, “If the world is willing to finish the job of religious extremism, blood-shed and fundamentalism, it would have to follow the philosophy of Sindhi Mystics and pursue the path of tolerance and coexistence proposed by Sindhi Mystics. World can only be led towards rest and peace by adopting the philosophies and ideologies of great Sindhi Mystics Shah Abdul Latif, Sachal Sarmast , Sami and Sain G.M Syed. We invite all the democratic civilized nations to adopt Sindh’s philosophy of unification of religions and unification of thoughts because the peaceful message of Sindh would surely bring them an endless peace on the globe. This is the only ideology to prevent the mass bloodshed and destruction that the humans are jointly bringing forth. He appealed to all the countries and humans of the world that they might help us to get freedom of Sindh from this tyrant theocratic state of Pakistan. He said that “I assure the world of our potential to resolve the current blindfold uprising of religious fundamentalism through the teachings of Sindhi Sufism.”
