Allah Baksh Sumroo was the man who said India should not be partitioned because entire India belonged to Mughals. And Islαm should ultimately rule over entire India

He is now being turned into a "freedom fighter" by a nexus of establishment historians and secular politicians! https://t.co/XapV0AAbFj
Another attempt by the secular brigade to manufacture another "Mμslim freedom fighter".

Irfan Habib certifies Allah Baksh Sumroo as a "freedom fighter". He organised "Azam Muslim conference" against Pakistan demand of the league.
All ingredients ripe for a great secular hero!
Allah Baksh Sumroo the hero from Mμslim majority province of Sindh who opposed Jinnah and Mμslim league.
— True Indology (@TIinExile) July 29, 2020
The hero gathered 75,000 people to condemn Mμslim league.
The secular hero has finally arrived. Could anything go wrong?
Unfortunately, yes. The devil is in the detail
Instead of Pakistan, Sumroo opted for a united India, but

He demanded preferential constitutional rights safeguarding "legitimate interests" of Mμslims. It will be written by Mμslim members of constituent assembly.

Further, Sumroo demanded that in Independent India

1)Mμslims should have constitutional protection for Mμslim culture, religious & personal rights including Sharia
2)Mμslim members of constituent assembly for framing the Mμslim constitution will be elected by Mμslims themselves pic.twitter.com/6nhF8qpT5s
There will be a 27 member Mμslim body elected by Mμslims themselves which would have the virtual strength of half the lower house of parliament.

They resolved to make provisions to the effect that Mμslim body will have the veto power. No bill would pass without their approval.
Dr B.R. Ambedkar termed their demands as "frightful & dangerous alternative to Pakistan".

He wondered whether Hindus would be better off conceding Pakistan rather than giving in to such outrageous demands.
In his words, it was virtually "handing over the country" to them. pic.twitter.com/YCWQkeg0Zo
Irfan Habib Hails Sumroo as a great secular icon.

However, it was exactly when Sumroo was premier of Sindh that violent anti Hindu Sukkur riots took place.
Almost 90% of victims were minority Hindus.
This began mass exodus of Sindhi Hindus to regions that would become India pic.twitter.com/sQ8G90rEil
Sumroo was very lenient towards the rioters.
— True Indology (@TIinExile) July 29, 2020
He released those rioters who were involved in Anti Hindu riots. They were not brought to book.
He simply handed over the Manzilgah just opposite to and within premises of the Hindu temple to the Mμslim mob that went on rampage. pic.twitter.com/mwY6vzBPkt
