Shafi Muhammad Burfat[a] (born November 25, 1965) is the founder and current chairman ofJeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz; aSindhi nationalist andliberal political party inSindh, Pakistan who believes in the secession ofSindhudesh from Pakistan due to continuous repression of native sindhis by radicals and extremists in Pakistan.
Burfat is a leader in exile who escaped Pakistan in 1994. Media has reported that Shafi Muhammd Burfat had fled toAfghanistan where he established his control center inKabul.[1][2] But some photographs and a column in Thedaily Jang newspaper has reported Shafi Burfat's presence in an event on Human Rights in UN headquarters at Geneva.[3]
On 1 April 2013 home ministry of Pakistan declared JSMM as a terrorist organization and imposed ban.[4] The Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Sindh police and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has added Shafi Muhammad Burfat to its Red Book for his alleged separatists actions against Pakistan.[5]
