The Pakistan Oppressed Nations Movement (PONM) was an alliance of several nationalist parties in Pakistan: Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party, Awami Tehreek, Balochistan National Party (Mengal), Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Seraiki movement etc.[1][2][3]

Prominent leaders of PONM were Sardar Ataullah Mengal, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Rasool Bux Palijo, Dr. Qadir Magsi, Syed Jalal Mehmood Shah and other Sindhi, Baluch, Pashtun and Seraiki ethnic nationalists.[3] Although it was not a political party, but a grouping of ethnic nationalist parties, they support each other's candidates in election. They constitute a large group in Balochistan provisional assembly, where they have won a total of ten out of sixty-six seats. It is present in Sindh as well, but was more popular in Balochistan.
