Former Sindh information minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has stated that February 8 election day will decide whether the people endorse politics of hatred or prioritise resolution of their issues.
He was talking to the media outside the office of the Returning Officer after submitting his nomination papers for the provincial assembly constituency PS-61 Hyderabad on Thursday.
Memon said, “I believe that people are more politically aware now and will not get involved in politics of any conspiracy or ethnic strife.”

He expressed confidence that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would secure 95% of the seats in Sindh and emerge as a successful party, at provincially and federal levels.
Memon further remarked that on February 8, whichever party receives the peoples’ mandate should wholeheartedly work towards resolving their issues. The people are not interested in who is going to jail or getting released but they want to see their issues resolved. Responding to a question, he stressed the need to adopt the ideologies of Asif Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto at this time.
He said there would be two types of votes, one against institutions and another in support of connecting institutions.
