Mahar has maintained that he had resigned himself and was not removed by the party from the post of federal minister.
KARACHI: Former Sindh chief of Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) Ghous Bux Mahar announced joining PML-Functional (PML-F) on Wednesday along with his son.
Mahar held a press conference with PML-F chief Pir Pagara in Karachi where he made the announcement. He said that he had quit PML-Q because of differences over the Sindh Peoples Local Government Ordinance (SPLGO).
Mahar has maintained that he had resigned himself and was not removed by the party from the post of federal minister.
Several PML-Q leaders had also expressed reservations with the party after Mahar resigned. The leaders included Federal Minister for Education and Training Sheikh Waqas Akram, Minister of Production Awar Ali Cheema (incidentally, a close relative of the PML-Q chief) and former Balochistan chief minister Jam Yousaf.

I have never in my life seen a more humble and well spoken man. I have always felt that politicians were rats. But this man changed my opinion. He is probably the only honest man in the country in the business at the moment. And I condemn what PML-Q has done to him. Live Long Mr.Bux!
More respect for Maher Sb. after joined PML-F,Pir Saheb Pagara has stood for the people of Sindh, and respectble maher sb also said that he had quit PML-Q because of differences over the Sindh Peoples Local Government Ordinance (SPLGO). we appreciate Maher sb & his sons nd others..
This man has only ever considered the benefit of his people before his personal gains. Anyone saying otherwise is only talking nonsense. The people of shikarpur have the utmost love and respect for him, as proof one might visit the interior district. I have seen him work and although i went in as a sceptic, i came out with with a whole different point of view. If there really are more people like, my faith in this counry would be restored.
