NAWABSHAH: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has announced its support to the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) on NA-213.

Abdul Rauf Siddiqui, central leader and candidate of MQM-P for the seat, said late on Tuesday while addressing a gathering of party workers and supporters in Manuabad that after a decision of his party, he was withdrawing from NA-213 in favour of GDA candidate Sardarzada Sher Mohammed Rind.

PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari is also contesting on NA-213. The rulers looted public money during the past 10 years and the government had no funds for building a dam, he said.
