LARKANA: Over 50 workers affiliated with different Sindhi nationalist groups announced on Sunday quitting sub-nationalist politics and joining mainstream national politics.

At a press conference held at Larkana Press Club, Zahid Ali Buledi, Mohammad Hassan, Arshad Unnar, Adeel Abro, Hatim Sakhi Unnar and others, who were previously associated with Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM), Jeay Sindh Mahaz (JSM), Jeay Sindh Students Federation (JSSF) and other groups, said that Sindhi nationalist parties were exploiting youth for their ulterior motives in the name of rights. These parties were pursuing the enemy’s agenda by using youth in destructive activities, they said.

Waving Pakistani flags during the press talk, they said that JSMM, JSQM, JSM, JSSF and other organisations were exploiting peaceful and innocent people of Sindh for their hidden interests.

The leaders of these organisations were residing with their families abroad and enjoying luxurious life with the funds received from anti-Pakistan agencies and using the youth against army and the country through negative propaganda, they said.

“We have wasted time by remaining with these organisations and we have realised today that Pakistan has given us identity and respect against which we have been taking out rallies and holding demonstrations,” they said.

They appealed to youth to focus on education and play a positive role for Pakistan by ignoring conspiracies. “We are Pakistanis and part of one nation. Foreign forces are pulling the strings of these organisations and are destroying their future under the fake slogans,” they said.

They said: “We ensure the government and law-enforcement agencies we will remain loyal to the country. We announce deserting nationalist parties from today and our energies and lives will only be for Pakistan,” they said.
