Deepak Perwani denies joining MQM-P ‘formally’

Other people who had announced joining MQM-P, included a retired bureaucrat Javed Hanif, Khurram Rasool, Alamgir Feroz, Imtiaz M Ali, Saman Laiq Abbasi, Taufeeq Kochin, Nazia Ali and former PTI leader Farooq Dadi.

In a statement on Tuesday, the fashion designer said, “As a citizen of Karachi, I recognise the importance and relevance of the political landscape and the very vital contribution of the MQM. During my 25 years of career as a fashion designer, I have been apolitical and Karachi has been central to my growth sustenance and pride.”

He further confirmed, “I have great respect and regard for Dr Farooq Sattar. I would like to make it very clear that I have not formally joined any party – but will always support causes and charities that will benefit my city and my country.”

Deepak concluded, “I thank Dr Sattar and wish him and the party best of success.”
