KARACHI: Dr Hamida quits PML-Q

Published February 7, 2008

KARACHI, Feb 6: Dr Hamida Khuhro, senior vice-president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q who held the portfolio of education in the last provincial government, on Wednesday tendered her resignation from the party’s membership.

In her letter addressed to PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, she has stated that senseless moves resorted to by the party leadership have earned it antagonism to the extent that none of its leader may visit any part of Sindh without facing hostile protests.

She has particularly referred to certain newspaper ads inviting all non-Sindhi linguistic communities to approach the PML-Q for compensation for the losses they had suffered in the post-Dec 27 violence in Sindh. “These ads effectively implied that Sindhis alone were responsible for the breakdown of law and order which is patently untrue,” she argued.

This has immensely hurt the feelings of the Sindhi people, she noted.—Staff Reporter
