KARACH: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s MPA Heer Soho announced on Tuesday to have joined the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

The MPA claimed that there is no respect for women in the MQM-P, adding that she will reveal the party’s treatment of women in a press conference later. Soho also said that she had joined the PPP the day she attended a dinner at Sindh CM House prior to the Senate elections on Saturday.

During Saturday’s Senate polls, the MQM-P suffered a setback by gaining only one seat despite being the second largest party in the Sindh Assembly. MQM-P chief Farooq Sattar had blamed the result on party MPAs selling their votes to the PPP.—INP
