Ms
Shaista Almani and her husband Mr Balakh Sher Mazari have announced to join the
Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM). The
announcement was made when Shaista Almani and Mr Balakh Sher Mazari came to the

Anwar, Ms Bilqees Mukhtar, member of Sindh Assembly and other office bearers of
MQM Women Wing were also present on this occasion.
Mr Balakh Sher Mazari and Shaista Almani praised Mr Altaf Hussain,
founder and leader of the MQM, for taking a courageous stand on the issue of
Karo Kari (honour killing) while all the other religious and political parties
kept silent on this matter. They
said that as a result of this righteous character of the MQM, now the people of
Sindh have realized that the MQM is struggling for all the oppressed people.
They further said that the issue of Karo Kari is not only related to us
but it is a pure human issue related to all the oppressed people of Sindh.
The MQM is the only party, which is struggling against this inhuman
custom. They declared that they
would spread the message of the MQM from village to village and would work as a
worker with Mr. Altaf Hussain for the abolition of feudal system.
The members of Central Coordination Committee welcomed Mr. Balakh Sher
Mazari and Ms. Shaista Almani and said that the righteous message of the MQM is
spreading in every nook and corner of Sindh and the feudal system along with its
customs would be abolished soon with the help of the unity of the oppressed
people of Sindh.
