QUETTA: Three tribal elders on Friday announced joining the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, saying MQM is a progressive party striving to resolve problems of common people.
Advocate Mohammad Hasan Mengal, Malik Saifullah Shahwani and Saleem Jan Bungulzai said at a press conference that the cause of problems being faced by people is wrong policies of familial political groups. They said leadership of such parties was by inheritance which was opposed by the MQM.
Flanked by a member of the Sindh Assembly, Yousuf Shahwani, the elders said that the poor were getting poorer and rich richer because of the dominance of some families in major political parties.
They said that people would not be able to get rid of hereditary influence until political leadership was passed on to common people. Hereditary politics can not bring change to society, they said.
They said they had studied manifestos of several political parties but were attracted only to the MQM’s since its leadership from top to bottom hailed from middle class and its manifesto ensured protection to rights of the poor class.
