The Sindh Taraki Pasand Party (STP) also decided to attend the sit-in and its president, Dr Qadir Magsi, would join other opposition leaders in Islamabad on Wednesday.

“The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is not sincere in resolving the issue and the absence of the army from the verification process clearly demonstrates that the ruling party was not interested in holding fair elections,” Dr Hameed Memon, a STP leader said.
