While the supporters of former foreign minister Shah Mahmmod Qureshi have finalised arrangements to hold a gathering in Ghotki on Sunday (today), the district administration has reportedly taken steps to minimise the rally’s attendance. It is Qureshi’s first political show after formally parting ways with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). He is likely to announce his future political strategy today. Both the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have already invited him on board. Whichever side Qureshi takes, it will be a matter of concern for the ruling PPP. Qureshi is set to embark on a new political journey from Sindh, which is considered the PPP’s stronghold. His Ghosia Jamaat, a grouping of his spiritual followers, is well-established in Sindh, particularly Ghotki, which Qureshi chose as a venue to announce his plans. Other areas where the Ghosia Jamaat has a large number of followers include Tharparkar and Sanghar. Ghotki’s geographical location is also an important factor in Qureshi’s decision to stage the rally. The Sindh’s district borders Punjab’s Seraeki speaking areas, where the Ghosia Jamaat has significant influence. Therefore, Ghotki as a venue could ensure a big gathering for Qureshi. In addition, his followers in the districts of Sanghar and Tharparkar have also started leaving for Ghotki. On the other hand, the Ghotki district administration was reportedly creating hurdles in the way Qureshi’s public meeting.
