While speaking to APP, Professor Lal Bux Jiskani said that the culture of Sindh preaches unity and respect for all other cultures.
“The Sindhi culture aims to forge unity among all the people living in our country,” he said.
“Sindh is the land of Sufi saints such as Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Sachal Sarmast, Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Abdullah Shah Ashabi and others who are buried in this land of peace,” Professor Jiskani continued.
“The message of all these Sufi saints was to forge unity, love, brotherhood and affection with each other and to denounce hatred,” he added.
