Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori said that the political party had already given its stance that elections could not be held without proper delimitation, otherwise, it would be ‘injustice’.
The MQM-P leaders complained about the non-implementation of Local Governor (LG) Act amendments and Article 140A.
They said that Shehbaz Sharif, Fazlur Rehman and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) had acted as guarantors of the political agreement, hence, they should take a concrete decision. They also demanded PM Sharif to inform MQM-P leadership at the earliest if PPP was not agreeing to implement the political agreement.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said that MQM-P is an important ally and the agreement between the Centre and the province will be implemented. “We will not leave Karachi alone. I will discuss this matter with Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari by myself,” assured the premier.
The delegation members said that the political party suffered unbearable loss due to the non-implementation of the agreement. The MQM-P clarified that it would not be part of the coalition government anymore if the issues of urban Sindh are not addressed.
