Retired Lt Gen Abdul Qadir Baloch formally joins Pakistan Peoples Party
Former Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leaders Nawab Sanaullah Zehri and retired Lt Gen Abdul Qadir Baloch on Sunday formally joined the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) along with tribal elders, former provincial ministers and members of the Balochistan Assembly.
Addressing a function in Quetta, Qadir Baloch said that the ideological vote of PPP is present in his area.
He said that the people of Balochistan living in adjoining Sindh have been associated with PPP.
A few months ago, Abdul Qadir Baloch met former president and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
The leaders joined PPP at a public meeting attended by party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
Besides Mr Zehri and Gen Baloch, former provincial minister Nawab Mohammad Khan Shahwani (National Party), Sardar Imran Bangulzai (NP), former district Nazim of Nasirabad Sardar Changaz Khan Sasoli, Mir Irfan Kurd, former chairman of Khuzdar district council Mir Abdul Rehman Zehri, Mir Ghazi Khan Pindrani (PML-N), former minister retired Col Younis Changizi (PML-Q), Agha Irfan Ahemdzai and former adviser to the CM Kishwar Jattak joined the PPP.
Nawab Sanaullah Zehri and Gen Abdul Qadir Baloch had quit the PML-N along with their supporters after they were not invited to attend a public meeting organised by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on Dec 25 last year.
Sardar Zehri and Gen Baloch also strongly reacted to PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif’s speech against the army chief and head of the Inter-Services Intelligence during a PDM rally in Gujranwala.
