LARKANA: More than 200 leaders and workers of different nationalist parties and groups in Larkana and Sukkur announced on Wednesday quitting separatism and pledged to play a positive role in the country’s progress and prosperity.

Former nationalist activists Asif Chandio, Ahmed Soomro, Arshad Tunio and others said a press conference at Larkana Press Club that parties like Sindh Revolution Army, Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz, Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz-Arisar, Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz-Bashir and Jeay Sindh Students Federation were using innocent people of Sindh for their hidden agendas.

The nationalist leaders were being funded by the country’s enemies and they were living carefree lives in foreign countries along with their families while they were urging Sindhi youth to work against army and Pakistan, they said.

SUKKUR: About 50 workers of Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz-Bashir’s Sukkur chapter led by its president Abdul Salam Mangrio announced parting ways with the JSQM and pledged to join mainstream national parties.

Mangrio said at a press conference at Panu Aqil Press Club that he advised youth to quit anti-Pakistan sub-national parties and join pro-Pakistan national parties.
