Notables of Jokhio tribe including Jam Abdul Karim and Jam Owais, sons of Jam Bijar, Sardar (head) of Jokhio tribe on Tuesday reposed their confidence on President Asif Ali Zardari and announced to join Pakistan Peoples Party with their entire clan. Talking to media on the occasion, Jam Abdul Karim said his grand father was among the founding members of PPP, however, his father and other family members were never active in politics, at any level. “It is due to service rendered for upliftment of masses in the country, particularly Sindh by PPP that I and my brother alongwith our followers have decided to join the party,” he said. Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah present on the occasion said Jams had significant presence as well as influence in the belt stretching from Thatta to Malir and their inclusion in the party was an extremely welcome development. “Tremendous sacrifices rendered by the party leaders and the acumen of the leadership has attracted people from all sections and segments towards the party that holds its strong presence at grass root levels,” said Syed Qaim Ali Shah.
