No doubt, a strong Federal Centre is
meant to counter the fissiparous trends and separatist tendencies, but it
is also correct to say that a strong Centre does not necessarily mean a
strong nation. The strong Central government in the past have been
responsible for a weaker rather a vulnerable
Pakistan.
S.N.F (Sindh National Front) want genuine
Provincial Autonomy. The autonomy which is being enjoyed by the States in
the US & Canada, the Indian Provinces, the Cantons in Switzerland and
the Australian Provences etc.
The Provincial
Autonomy as provided with the Act of 1935 was meant for colonial India and
not for free and independent Pakistan. But after that in 1940
(Lahore resolution) was the main theme of Independent Pakistan. The
'resolution' is totally in the favour of
CONFEDERATION.
