HYDERABAD:
Expressing self-assurance about winning in the 2018 general elections, Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairperson Mustafa Kamal said he is occupied by the worry of fulfilling expectations of the people after the victory.
Addressing workers in Hyderabad past midnight on Saturday, he claimed that the overwhelming support of the people has made him believe that his party will bag record votes.
"I no longer worry about winning or losing the elections. The people have told us that they are no longer with the Pharaohs [an apparent reference to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)]. We will get more votes than any other party has in the last 70 years."
Kamal asked the party workers to begin the selection of the candidates who will contest in the 2018 general elections on PSP's tickets. He added that he can foresee responsibility of governance being put on his shoulders.
He told the workers to be cautious while selecting the candidates for the elections. "I don't want to give the steering of the nation's vehicle to a charlatan driver. Satan is always present with every human being. If you are misled, failure not success will welcome you."
Referring to the MQM, Kamal alleged that sycophancy to London-based founding leader Altaf Hussain won the seats of MNAs and MPAs to that party's workers. He bemoaned that despite being elections to legislature for nine times during the last three decades, the representatives failed to deliver.
MQM-P, PSP plan to contest elections as ‘one party’
"God will punish the politicians who received votes with the promise to provide these services but dishonoured their pledge," he said warning his party's workers against repeating the same mistakes. "If done, it will bring the divine punishment. If there is negligence in our work, we will go to hell."
Kamal maintained that hundreds of thousands of people attended the December 24 public meeting of PSP in Karachi and criticised MQM-Pakistan for holding public meeting despite being in power.
PSP President Anis Qaimakhani demanded that former governor Sindh Ishratul Ebad should be brought back to Pakistan to stand trial for May 12, 2007 carnage in Karachi. "He should be arrested and produced before the court for trial."
Kamal ‘spills the beans’ in scathing rejoinder to Farooq Sattar
Qaimkhani said the next chief minister of Sindh will belong to his party in a coalition government in the province. He criticised former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for his alleged undemocratic manners and for picking fights with all army chiefs of his tenures. "He has been warning of disclosing secrets, he should better reveal."
