Several elected local government representatives and office-bearers of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Karachi’s Shah Faisal Town have joined the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Sindh Minister for Labour, Human Resources and Social Protection and PPP Karachi President Saeed Ghani welcomed the new members at a ceremony. Addressing the gathering, Ghani said Karachi had always been a stronghold of the PPP and continued to belong to the party. He claimed that political parties which had gained power with the support of dictators and anti-democratic forces had been rejected by the people. He said the reported arrival of office-bearers and workers from the PTI, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Pakistan Muslim League-Functional and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz reflected growing confidence in the PPP. Ghani welcomed the elected representatives, party office-bearers and workers, saying their decision to join the PPP demonstrated their trust in the party. Those joining included Shah Faisal Town UC-8 Chairman Zeeshan Zaib, Ward-1 Councillor Atiqur Rehman and Ward-4 Councillor Kashan-ur-Rehman. Other new members included UC-6 Ward-1 Councillor Shan Shaukat, PTI UC-6 Vice-President Asif Sheikh, Shah Faisal Town Vice-President Sardar Khan and UC-8 Vice-President Qayyum Shah. Additional General Secretary Shah Rehman and Hameed Khan also joined the PPP, along with several other party workers and office-bearers. Ghani welcomed the new members by presenting them with PPP flags. He said the new entrants would become permanent party members and work together to promote development in Karachi, Sindh and Pakistan. The ceremony was attended by PPP Sindh Council member Sharjeel Rizvi, PS-96 President Sattar Gabol, Senior Vice-President Shahnawaz Sheikh, General Secretary Ali Bux and Information Secretary Zeeshan Khattak.
