Key points
- Sindh’s chief minister rejected Rajnath Singh’s talk of Sindh “returning to India,” calling it provocation.
- Pakistan’s Foreign Office also condemned the remarks and reaffirmed Islamabad’s stance on sovereignty and Kashmir.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah dismissed Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s suggestion that the province could one day “return to India,” urging him to stop “daydreaming.”
The chief minister said on social media that “Sindh is an inseparable and integral part of Pakistan. Sindh was, is and will remain a part of Pakistan,” adding that Singh was “unaware of history.” He noted Sindh separated from the Bombay Presidency in 1936, well before Pakistan’s creation, and urged Indian leaders to address internal divisions instead of stoking provocative ideas about borders.
Earlier, Indian media quoted Singh as saying civilisational ties meant borders could change. Pakistan’s Foreign Office condemned the remarks as “delusional” and “revisionist,” calling them a threat to regional stability and a reflection of an expansionist Hindutva mindset. Islamabad reiterated its position on Kashmir and urged New Delhi to protect vulnerable minorities at home.
