KARACHI, Feb 6: The Muttahida Quami Movement Parliamentary leader, Dr Farooq Sattar on Tuesday said that it’s high time that people from all downtrodden sections of the society gather under the banner of MQM to struggle against the feudal and exploitative system.

He was addressing the by-election campaign of MQM candidate Syed Ikhlaq Hussain Abedi at Sultan Mosque DHA.

He said that the people had already tested religious and national parties and come to the conclusion that the MQM was only party that can deliver and is capable of changing the destinies of people.

The MQM candidate Syed Ikhlaq Hussain said that due to the popularity of the MQM leader’s philosophy, the voters of NA-250 would vote for his success with a large margin. He vowed that he would serve the people of the constituency after winning the by-election.
