PSP to announce roadmap at Hyderabad rally on 23rd

The Pak Sarzameen Party said on Saturday that it would announce its roadmap and future strategy at a rally in Hyderabad on December 23.

PSP information secretary Iftikhar Alam told The News that the party would also announce the date for its Karachi rally there.

He added that the PSP’s recent rally in Mirpurkhas was very successful and after seeing the response the party had received in Hyderabad, he was sure that its public gathering there would be grand one as well.

“The entire leadership of the PSP is in Hyderabad is preparing for the rally,” he said. “There, we will announce how we will tackle issues being faced by citizens.”

The PSP leaders who are in Hyderabad include founder Syed Mustafa Kamal, Anis Qaimkhani and Advocate Anees.

The series of rallies being staged by the PSP is part of its preparations for the 2018 general elections.

Alam said that citizens of Hyderabad were joining the PSP in large numbers every day.

The PSP has yet to come up with its flag as the election commission had not accepted that it could use the national flag to represent the party.

Student wing

On Friday, PSP leader Mustafa Kamal had announced the setting up of his party’s student wing.

He said the Student Federation of Pakistan was formed considering that the majority of Pakistanis were young.

Kamal added that he would personally look after the affairs of the student wing.

The SPF comprises 34 members with Tauseef Ijaz as its president and Muneeb-ul-Taheed as its general secretary, both former All Pakistan Muttahida Students Organisation leaders.

Kamal, who is a former Karachi nazim, said that 50 percent of the people who had joined the PSP were new entrants.

Kamal had formally launched his political party on March 23, demanding of the government to announce a general amnesty for workers of his former party.

"Today, on March 23rd, we are laying the foundation of nationalism,” he had said before announcing the name of his party at the end of a long speech, in which he outlined the manifesto of his party.

He had urged the government to announce a similar package for youths in Karachi and Hyderabad as was granted to disgruntled elements of Balochistan. 

Kamal had said there was a need to restore the local government system before talking about creating more provinces in the country as new federating units would be of no use if the common man was not empowered.
