MIRPURKHAS: Pak Sar­zameen Party (PSP) chairman Mustafa Kamal has said that his party is struggling to usher in change in society, unite all communities on one platform by bridging gulfs and defeating hatemongers who are hatching conspiracies to break apart Sindh.

He said at a large gathering at a private marriage hall here on Thursday night that his party had succeeded to bring closer Urdu-speaking, Pakhtun, Punjabi, Sindhi, Baloch and other communities who were now joining PSP in large numbers.

He said that his first mission was to break the spell cast by Altaf Hussain on Urdu-speaking people and he had largely succeeded in it.

His second mission was to bring all communities closer and end hatred, which too had been completed by the grace of God as today all communities, particularly in Sindh, were living in harmony and brotherhood, he said.

He and his colleagues, including Anis Ahmed Advocate, Anis Kaimkhani, Iftikhar Randhawa, Sajid Baloch and Ashfaque Mangi, were visiting different areas of the interior of Sindh where Sindhis were according them warm welcome and joining their party, he said.

Mr Kamal said that they had saved lives of thousands of people from doom and forged unity among different communities which was a big achievement.

He appealed to people to strengthen his party in order to inflict defeat on those who were planning to break apart Sindh and spread hatred.

The party had planned a general workers’ meeting near Hameedpura Colony but postponed it later over less than expected attendance of people.

UMERKOT: Mr Kamal said in speeches at public meetings in Umerkot, Samaro, Kunri and Pithoro towns on Friday that each political party had its share of “devils” like Altaf but they were ultimately brought down by public.

He said that he had unveiled the real face of Altaf before the world and now he had no place to find refuge in the world. Altaf divided Sindhis and Urdu-speaking communities but they had now “killed” him politically, he said.

He said at a media briefing at Umerkot Press Club that no one could divide Sindh and Karachi was its integral part. Pro-Muttahida, anti-Muttahida and silent voters were joining PSP in hordes, he claimed.

He said that his party believed in devolution of powers from Chief Minister House to union council to bring real development. They were ready to sit with all parties over common agenda, he said.

Mr Kamal said in answer to a question that he did not agree with Captain Safdar’s speech in National Assembly and saw no future for Nawaz Sharif.

Anis Kaimkhani and Ashfaque Mangi said that they had sacrificed everything for Altaf who was now sitting abroad burning Pakistani flags and abusing Pakistan Army.

MQM-P MPA Mehmood Razzaq from Karachi who announced joining the PSP said that he could have got a ministry portfolio if he had joined PPP but he had decided to join the party which was “real voice of people of Sindh”.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf activist and social worker Prem Sagar also joined PSP on the occasion along with his supporters.
