HYDERABAD, May 1: The Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party has criticised the Pakistan People’s Party for offering 13 ministries and posts of adviser of the Sindh government to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and said that it was an ‘insult to the mandate of people’.

In a statement faxed to Dawn, STP chairman Dr Qadir Magsi claimed that the Sindhi people had voted PPP into power to get rid of the MQM and added that PPP had betrayed the people of Sindh.

He said during the last eight years, the people of Sindh had faced miseries, hunger, poverty, unemployment and witnessed the gruesome incidents of May 12 and October 18.

“This was the reason that the people had voted the PPP into power to end the status quo,” he said and added that they were now thinking whether they had wasted their votes.—Bureau
