SUKKUR: Former Chief Minster Sindh and chief Sindh National Front (SNF) Mumtaz Bhutto has hinted at joining Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Talking at Press Club Sukkur, Mumtaz said that SNF has wanted Jinnah’s Pakistan and “under this we will merge our party into PTI or join it”. Criticising Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, he called him a “symbol of corruption”. He expressed his surprise that Zardari has been claiming rooting out corruption from institutions, whereas Zardari has been one of the root causes of the corruption in the country.

Pakistan Muslim League-N stands to term report of Joint Investigating Team (JIT) as controversial and if they had reservations they should not have presented them before JIT and now the case was in Supreme Court of Pakistan, which would decide the fate of Nawaz Sharif.

He remembered his decision to collision with PML-N as wrong and told that he had to bear irreparable loss to his party.

Before 2013 general elections, Mumtaz had merged his party with PML-N to defeat Zardari, but later sensing good relations between these two, his party’s central executive committee had decided to part ways with PML-N.

He reiterated that Sindh people were not goats or sheep to re-elect the plunderers who had already ruined the cities as well as suburbs of the Sindh and he suggested voters to cast vote carefully in general election 2018.

Mumtaz informed that he had decided to go to the people and create awareness to make certain that country was conformity with Jinnah’s Pakistan.
