The cases registered against over 50 Sindhi nationalists who had gathered in Sann, Jamshoro, to commemorate G M Syed&#39;s birth anniversary are yet another sign of a state that cannot bear any form of dissent. Once again, the &#39;anti-state&#39; card has been played. <a href="https://t.co/WhqcNKAcJB">pic.twitter.com/WhqcNKAcJB</a></p>
