In a much-hyped merger, Mustafa Kamal and Dr Farooq Sattar Thursday joined the Mutahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) ahead of the elections.Kamal and Sattar had formed their separate factions after developing differences with the party.
In a press conference flanked by the top brass of the party, MQM-P Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said the "graveness" of the situation in Sindh's urban areas requires all people to join hands.
"It is important that under the circumstances, the people, whose families laid down their lives for Pakistan's formations, should come together for a historic struggle," the MQM-P leader said.
Siddiqui said that the elements who wished to divide the nation are disappointed and vowed that the rejuvenated MQM-P would live up to the dreams of the masses and strive for urban cities' development.
"I welcome you all — Kamal, Sattar, and their aides. I hope that all of you will strive for the nation," the former federal minister for information and technology added.
