The Sindh National Front (SNF), which was merged into the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is likely to be revived in the near future, it has been learnt.
According to sources, a meeting of central committee consisting of 100 members of former SNF is expected to be held next week where a decision to part ways from the PML-N is expected. The SNF is likely to be revived under Mumtaz Ali Bhutto.
Mumtaz Bhutto has already joined the newly-formed Sindh Grand Alliance of opposition parties. It must be noted here that the SNF was merged three and half years ago with the PML-Nawaz on June 9, 2012.
Mumtaz Bhutto in his tweet on January 10 said, “We shall revive the SNF & make it a part of the new Sindh Alliance in the making”.
According to sources, Mumtaz Bhutto met with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif last month in Lahore but it seemed that their differences could not be sorted out in this meeting.
Ameer Bakhsh Bhutto, son of Mumtaz Bhutto, was appointed as advisor to Prime Minister Sharif but he was not assigned any portfolio for nine months for which he also wrote two letters but they received no response and as a result Bhutto resigned from the post of adviser.
When contatced a spokesman of Mumtaz Bhutto, Ibrahim Abro confirmed that within the next few days the meeting of former SNF central committee will be held either at Karachi or Larkana wherein it will finally decide to quit the PML-N and revive the SNF.
