Majlis-i-Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has welcomed his party’s alliance with the PTI, saying that his party has stood by Imran Khan since the events of ‘regime change’ in April 2022 and will continue to do so “till the last drop of our blood”.

“We want unity in Pakistan and desires to see this country progress,” Allama Abbas told Geo News.

Abbas said his party had no greed or made any demands from the PTI. “We have a principled stand that what happened [with the PTI] was wrong.”

The MWM chief regretted laws had been enacted recently to suppress the PTI, adding that promoting certain political parties through an agenda should not happen in a democratic culture. “I hope sanity prevails now.”

“We have told Imran that we are with him on his principles until last drop of our blood,” he told the TV channel.
