Mustaqbil Pakistan
Mustaqbil Pakistan (Urdu: مستقبل پاکستان, MP) is a political party founded in 2010 by a group of professionals looking to bring about a change in politics in Pakistan.[1] The main emphasis of the party is to bring people of competence, integrity, and honesty into Pakistani politics.[2] The founders of the party allege that all of Pakistan's travails - poverty, corruption, terrorism, sectarian violence and lawlessness - are due to a single root cause: that the people who are now in Pakistan's politics do not have the necessary competence, integrity, honesty and even desire to run the country.[3][4][5]
