MQM’s former MPA Nadia Gabol joins PPP

Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s former member Sindh Assembly Nadia Gabol, Saturday, formally joined Pakistan Peoples’ Party. The formal decision was taken during a meeting with PPP leader and provincial health minister Owais Muzzafar Tappi. Nadia had joined the MQM after her meeting with MQM chief Altaf Hussain in London in 2006. She is the daughter of Sardar Abdul Latif Gabol and niece of Nabil Gabol, the former PPP minister who joined the MQM and won the NA-246 seat in the 2013 general elections. The matter of Nadia’s quitting the MQM surfaced when she in an interview to a newspaper revealed that she is looking forward to leave her party and the leaderships of various political parties have contacted her, inviting her to join them. She said she thought the entry of Nabil Gabol in the MQM was the party’s downfall in Lyari. She expressed her trust in the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari and Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in a twitter message has welcomed Nadia Gabool into the fold of PPP.
