Mumtaz criticises electoral system

Published December 5, 2007

JACOBABAD, Dec 4: The chairman of the Sindh National Front, Mumtaz Bhutto, on Tuesday criticised the country’s electoral system, which he said helped only the looters, the corrupt, the blackmailers and the murderers to power.

Mr Bhutto said after hoisting party flag in Illahi Bux village of Garhi Khairo that the SNF was a patriotic party, which did not believe in the politics of corruption, nepotism and blackmailing.

He said that it was high time that people rejected those who had turned politics into a business and voted to power a genuine party, which could live up to their expectations.

He cautioned people against being hoodwinked by the tactics of such parties and urged them to vote only for the SNF, which he claimed was the true representative of Sindh.
