KARACHI:


Sufi Attaullah, the custodian of the famous shrine of Shah Enayat Shah of Jhok Sharif, announced on Thursday that he would support Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in next month’s elections.


The shrine’s custodian has advised his followers across the province of Sindh to vote for PPP and make it successful in the elections. The PPP leader and candidate for PS-88 Thatta Owais Muzzafar held a meeting with Sufi Attaullah and briefed him on the manifesto of his party.

Sufi Attaullah appreciated Muzaffar’s efforts for the betterment of the people of the area and prayed for PPP’s success all over Pakistan. His brother Sufi Mehboob meanwhile announced that he is joining the PPP.

Muzaffar acknowledged them for their support to his party and assured that he and his party will do everything possible to bring about development in Thatta and the rest of the province.

According to PPP media cell, Muzaffar visited the shrines of Lal Shahbaz Qalander, Dargah Makli Maula Ali Qadam Gah and Dargah Pir Shafi Wahab and prayed for the prosperity of the country, primarily Sindh.

Meanwhile, Mir Fateh Ali Talpur visited PPP leader Owais Muzaffar and announced he would withdraw in favour of PPP candidate Jam Khan Shoro. The candidate from PS-48 Hyderabad Latifabad Kalim Khanzada also had a meeting with Owais Muzaffar and declared that he would withdraw in favour of the PPP candidate.

Speaking on the occasion, Owais Muzaffar said that since Sindh is the land of Sufis, support from famous shrines is considered important and will strengthen the PPP. He said that the famous Sufi Shah Enayat Shah was widely respected all over South Asia and embraced martyrdom while struggling for the rights of the common people.

Similarly, he said, the founder of PPP Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir sacrificed their lives fighting for the rights of the people as well. Addressing his followers, Sufi Attaullah said that they should support PPP for the sake of development in Sindh. Arbab Wazir Memon, Engineer Sadiq Ali Memon, Altaf Khawja and other leaders were also present on the occasion.

I just wanna say that whoever supports PPP is Mir Sadiq and Mir Jaffir of today. PPP is a curse for Pakistan and if by any chance they manage to win this election, it means that we Pakistani nation is no more. So for God's sake, don't vote for PPP if you want to see your family and our nation prosperous in years ahead, don't vote for PPP.
