Positive steps by MQM towards GB. I am sure this party is going to have a greater footprint on the GB politics in near future and we should well come this party to make its way-in.
Many people have been criticizing by regarding them as an ‘ethinical group’ but things have changed since. When we look at their national level decisions, I have found them a true ‘secular group’ of proletariat
MQM- we appreciate the steps taken mostly GB people living in overseas can take advantage of OPF .
Thanks for ur considerations for being a gentle Mr.Sattar. its time to help GB. the ball is now in your court,you can bring many projects for entire GB.Than only u can win the votes
