Former legislator of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Nadia Gabol jumped ship on Saturday to join Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) simply because her cousin Nabeel Gabol had joined the MQM.
Nadia Gabol told the media she, along with her father, left MQM because of her personal and political rivalry with her cousin Nabeel Gabol who had quit PPP to join MQM.
There was festivity at Nine Zero a few months ago when Nabeel left PPP to join MQM and the same spirit was evident at the house of Owais Muzaffar when Nadia joined PPP.
Nadia Gabol was nominated by MQM as MPA on reserved seat in the 2008 election and served as human rights minister in the Sindh government.
Responding to a question she, however, refuted the reports of differences with MQM. “I have nothing personal against MQM,” she said, adding that her family was affiliated with the PPP since 1976.
MQM reaction
MQM Coordination Committee member Aminul Haque said Nadia’s decision would not affect the party. “She was not active for several months in the party.”
Bilawal meets Thatta leaders
PPP’s chief patron Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met PPP leaders from Thatta at the house of Sindh Local Bodies Minister Owais Muzaffar.
The minister had hosted an Eid Milan party for the party’s leadership from Thatta district.
