Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party (Sindhi: سنڌ ترقي پسند پارٽي, Urdu: سندھ ترقی پسند پارٹی ) is a left-wing Pakistani political party based in Sindh. Dr. Qadir Magsi is the chairman of Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party.
The Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party (STP) has been engaged in socio- political activism in Pakistans since last two decades, by struggling against despotism, theocratic & 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.
Membership of the STP is open for all citizens of Pakistan; men and women of 18 years and above, without any discrimination of religion, language, caste, creed, and color.
The party was involved in ethnic violence against Muhajirs in the late 1980s when they fought against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement led by Altaf Hussain. Both sides killed hundreds of people from the other ethnic group.
