After Grand Democratic Alliance held a protest in Jamshoro, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Waqar Mehdi said that the alliance’s leader Pir Pagara was a “respectable” personality but was being used by already “rejected” elements.

“Pir Sahib Pagara is a highly respected personality, and his devotees had gathered at Hyderabad Jamshoro Bypass to meet Pir Sahib,” said Mehdi.

Mehdi claimed that “in GDA, no party other than the Functional League can even win councilor elections.”

He also accused religious parties of using seminary students for political purposes to create the impression of large rallies and protests.
