The recent wave of desertions from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) to the Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) continued on Monday after another lawmaker MPA Saleem Bandhani jumped the ship.
PSP chief Mustafa Kamal, flanked by Saleem Bandhani, made the announcement during a press conference at Pakistan House.
“Bandhani has been elected MPA from Sukkur twice,” shared Kamal, adding that five MQM MPAs and four MNAs have joined PSP in just 11 days.
“The voters of all these lawmakers said that they made the right decision,” he said, adding: “We extend our platform to the leadership of MQM’s PIB and Bahadurabad factions for serving the people.
On the other hand, Bandhani said that there was no pressure on him to join the party. “I have been affiliated with MQM for the last 30 years. I have learnt a great deal from [PSP leader] Anees Qaimkhani.
