KARACHI: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan decided to go together in alliance against Pakistan Peoples’ Party in Sindh.

Development came after meeting of JUI-F delegation led by Molana Rashid Mehmood Soomro with MQM-P Rabita Committee at their temporary headquarters in Bahadurabad.

MQM-P Senior Deputy Convener Dr Farooq Sattar said addressing media that his party, JUI-F, Grand Democratic Alliance have decided to “Free people of Sindh from clutches of PPP”.

“We have decided not to let Sindh card work anymore. JUI-F has political force in rural Sindh, we will together remind landlords and feudal of their times and beat PPP’s policy of hatred and nationalism,” Sattar said. “New political alliance is ready to serve people of Sindh.”

JUI-F’s Soomro said that it has been agreed in meeting that three parties will not fight for any one ethnicity but will fight for everyone from Karachi to Kashmore. He called upon Election Commission of Pakistan to address JUI-F, MQM-P and GDA’s reservations on transfers, appointments and delimitation of constituencies.

“If reservations are not removed, we will decide future course of action together,” he added. With political circles divided on time of polls, President Arif Alvi, day earlier, had urged Chief Election Commissioner to hold polls on November 6, 2023, date that falls within 90-day period since dissolution of assemblies.
