‘We are loyal to Pakistan, not govt’

PSP chief says people have been left to die of hunger and disease

KARACHI: Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chairperson Syed Mustafa Kamal said on Monday that his party was only loyal to the state of Pakistan and not to any government.

"If someone is in the government today, someone else will be there tomorrow," he said.

He added that people had been left to die of hunger and disease, while health, education, employment, and justice were out of their reach.

Addressing party workers online, Kamal said that his party would struggle to raise its voice for people's rights against those who wanted to maintain the status quo in the country. "We will certainly have to suffer, our lives may be lost for which we are ready.”

The party chairperson maintained that they had abided by the Constitution and laws of Pakistan and did not want to fight anyone.

However, he lamented, he could not bear to see the country in its current state, where people were drinking sewerage water and living without electricity, hospitals and schools.
