The Sindh Democratic Alliance was a regional political party in Pakistan. The party was created by the bureaucrat-turned-politician Imtiaz Shaikh in mid-2001. He was formerly a right-hand man of Jam Sadiq Ali, who was the Chief Minister of Sindh from 1990 to until he was murdered in 1992. At the behest of the military government, he resigned from the government post and formed SDA. [Hasan Mansoor.
