KARACHI: Social workers from Charsadda and Peshawar announced that they had joined the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Sunday. Wahida Zaffar, her brother Sattar Ali, Anwer Kamal and others said that after reading the party’s manifesto and their spending time at Nine Zero had helped them reach this decision. While speaking at a press conference at Karachi Press Club with the provincial minister for commerce and industries, Rauf siddiqui, Zaffar said that they had been offered opportunities by other parties but did not accept. “The party’s rivals and opponents are spreading propaganda about the MQM,” she said. “Is the MQM behind the bloodshed in other parts of the country? This party is about peace and representing the middle class. It has a democratic system that is not visible in any other party.”
