Karachi: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement has decided to sit on the opposition benches in Sindh and federation, quitting Pakistan People’s Party-led coalition government.
MQM senior leader Dr Farooq Sattar announced the decision speaking to a press conference after attending a meeting of the party’s Rabita Committee.
The MQM said the PPP had showed “non-serious” attitude in resolving their reservations over the withdrawal of cases from the Lyari gang war criminals.
The quitting party had staged walkout from Sindh Assembly session on Thursday after Sindh law ministry ordered to withdraw 34 cases filed during the Lyari operation in Karachi, a metropolitan of Pakistan.
The names of Umair Katchi, Fahim, Sheraz alias Comrade, Abdul Jabbar alias Jhengo, Faisal Pathan, Rashid Bangali, Mullah Nisar and Rashid son of Ghulam Hussain Lond have been withdrawn from the list of people carrying reward money for their arrest, said a notification issued by the home department.
The eight were reportedly booked in dozens of criminal cases, including murder, attempted murder, attack on police, and some of them had been declared proclaimed offenders by courts.
