=== 2014 Sindh Festival ===
The Mohenjo-daro site was further threatened in January 2014, when [[Bilawal Bhutto Zardari]] of the [[Pakistan People's Party]] chose the site for Sindh Festival's inauguration ceremony. This would have exposed the site to mechanical operations, including excavation and drilling. Farzand Masih, head of the Department of Archaeology at [[University of the Punjab|Punjab University]] warned that such activity was banned under the [[Antiquity Act]], saying "You cannot even hammer a nail at an archaeological site."  On 31 January 2014, a case was filed in the [[Sindh High Court]] to bar the Sindh government from continuing with the event.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bilawal's 'cultural coup' threatens ancient ruins|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1083787/bilawals-cultural-coup-threatens-ancient-ruins|work=AFP|publisher=Daily Dawn|access-date=31 January 2014|date=30 January 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Sahoutara|first=Naeem|title=Preserving heritage: Court instructs to take 'utmost' care in holding festival at Moen Jo Daro|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/665564/preserving-heritage-court-instructs-to-take-utmost-care-in-holding-festival-at-moen-jo-daro|work=The Express Tribune|date=30 January 2014 |access-date=31 January 2014}}</ref> The festival was held by PPP at the historic site, despite all the protest by both national and international historians and educators.
