The Sindh government has requested Islamabad for asking India to return the famous statue of the Dancing Girl, which is in possession of the Indian authorities since 1946.
The move from the provincial government comes as Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's Sindh Festival has turned people's attention towards the culture and civilisation of Sindh.
According to Dawn News, a member of the Sindh cabinet said that they have written to the federal government to help repatriate the exiled heroine back from India.
The two most famous artefacts belonging to Mohenjodaro, regarded as one of the world's most ancient planned cities, are the King Priest and the Dancing Girl, the report said.
Officials said the two relics had been transported by British archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler to Delhi in 1946 to be put in an exhibition and had remained there since then.
A Pakistani official had visited Delhi and succeeded in getting hold of the King Priest and the Fasting Buddha, but India refused to hand over the bronze statuette of the Dancing Girl, the report added.
