F.P. Report
KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan chief Farooq Sattar threatened of resigning from the Senate if any party leader is taken to another “camp” again.
He was referring to MQM Senator Mian Attique Sheikh who casted his vote in favour of Elections Bill 2017 enabling former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to head Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
While addressing a news conference in Karachi on Sunday, Sattar said he has however taken resignations from some party leaders during a meeting. “[Now] Election Commission of Pakistan should announced by-polls for seats vacated by those party leaders who have resigned.”
Farooq alleged it was Pak Sarzameen Party that was working to end MQM-P’s representation in the Senate. He added the time has come to make a decision as members of MQM-P in the Sindh Assembly were being forced to change loyalties. “MQM-P leaders are being pressurised to switch to another party.”
Referring to the allegations levelled against him by MQM’s expelled MNA, Salman Mujahid Baloch, Sattar said it has been a year since MQM-P ended contact with MQM-London.
