He highlighted that Sindhi Adabi Sangat is an organization of writers, intellectuals, liberals, and progressive individuals in Sindh. Founded in 1947 through the efforts of Dada Gobind Malhi and Bihari Lal Chhabria, its first Secretary General was Dr. Ayaz Qadri.
Chakrani emphasized that the core mission of the organization is to promote literature, hold constitutional meetings, conduct literary classes, and organize cultural and artistic events.

Despite rising inflation and economic challenges, the organization operates without any external funding, relying solely on voluntary contributions from its members.

He encouraged young people to read books and actively engage in discussions about societal issues. He stressed that awareness of one’s rights is essential for any struggle to succeed.
