Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party (Sindhi: سنڌ ترقي پسند پارٽي, Urdu: سندھ ترقی پسند پارٹی) is a left-wing Pakistani political party. Qadir Magsi is the chairman of Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party.[4][5][6][7]
The Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party (STP) has been engaged in socio- political activism in Pakistan for the last two decades, by struggling against despotism, theocratic and fascist terrorism, and economic exploitation of smaller constituent units with a special focus on Sindh and Sindhi people. It is now poised to play a pivotal role in parliamentary politics of Pakistan, by contesting elections and undertaking formal activities in political and developmental spheres as an organized institution.
The party was involved in ethnic violence against Muhajirs in the late 1980s when they fought against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) led by Altaf Hussain. STP killed thousands of Muhajirs in the 1988 Latifabad riots.[8][1]
