Shah Latif bhithai is sign of our identity. His message for peace love, harmony is very much clear. In moharam i visited Shah latif shrine ( first moharam) and surprised to see the practices inside of his shrine and i felt an anger and sorrow inside. How tactfully one religious faction of Muslims are trying to radicalize his shrine space and his message for their own philosophy. Majlis was going on in side of shrine premises. Main way lead to his shrine was blocked for visitors and they were forced to enter from narrow streets. Whole shrine was looking like a Muharam procession . I am liberal person and believes in religious harmony and freedom of faith but latif is not shia saint or personality . Why authorities has allowed such organizations to do their religious and political agendas inside of shrine. Latif message is for humanity and for this land. It is very clear historically that latif was not believing in such division. There is immediate need from journalists and intelectuals to raise this issue with Aukaf Department and stop radicalization of shah latif. If we will divide latif in shia- sunni controversy in religious terms then what will happen with our sufi identity and respect for other religous groups. Latif is poet of humanity and identity of sindh.

Wishes
one of my most immediate wish is long lasting peace in my land. There has been conflict every where. I wish peace in each and every corner of the country.
I wish harmony among all religious communities. I wish that people collectively share happiness and sorrows. I wish all children should be sent to schools. I wish lot of job opportunities for new graduates. I wish sustainable career growth to nation. There should be research and development in all discipline. Science education quality needed to improve. Female education should be prioritized in national planning. Status of women should be recognized according to our constitution and peoples wishes.
There is need to follow law of land. we need to respect each and every law of the country for its progress and sustainable identity in the world. Constitutional development should be priority of parliament and it should discuss all issues and matters very openly.
National media should be given freedom but within limits to have independent check on media for its positive growth and objective. Media must be responsible while reporting national issues. It should balance in its public opinion.
Education is key to success of nation. we need to provide all modern teaching facilities to national institution for quality education. Respect of teacher and legal support to free education should be main objective of every political and social organizations. Quality of teachers and merit based selection process would be very fruitful in this regards.
I wish that every citizen should have right to marry according to his will and constitutional right. marriage is matter of private business between two individuals so it is absolute right of male and female to marry according to their own wish
Family system should be protected by law and government of time should keep close watch on family system. It is guarantee of our social system and its break up will cause great harm to our history and culture.
Belief system should not be mixed with political or social system. belief is purely individual matter between human and God. Government have nothing to do with personal beliefs of citizens. There is need to keep close eyes on fundamentalism promoting organization and groups which cause terrorism in country and also globally.
