QUETTA, May 7: Mir Saifullah Mohammad Hasni has quit the National Party and joined the Pakistan Workers Party alleging that the so-called nationalist parties are not sincere in the struggle for Baloch people’s rights. Speaking at a press conference here on Saturday at the press club, Mr Hasni claimed that he had joined the politics in 1971 and was inspired by late Baloch politician Mir Ghous Bakhsh Bizenjo, but at present the party deviated from the principles.

PWP president Nasrullah Khan Kakar was also present on the occasion.

Mr Hasni said that he and his colleagues always struggled for the rights of common men through peaceful means, but at present the so-called nationalist parties were inciting people for resorting to violence.

He said that middle class could serve the people with honesty.

Mr Kakar, while welcoming him to his party folds, hoped that with the passage of time people of the province would support the PWP.
