Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Friday vehemently rejected the Sindh government’s plan to appoint Pakistan Peoples Party leader Murtaza Wahab as the administrator of Karachi.
In a statement, MQM-P Convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui strongly rejected the provincial government’s decision about the appointment of Murtaza Wahab for the position. He maintained that the Sindh government had not consulted his party over the matter.
He further said that that MQM will not accept Murtaza Wahab as the Karachi administrator. The MQM-P leader also hinted at a mass public protest against this decision.
Earlier today, Governor of Sindh Imran Ismail had also rejected the Sindh government’s plan to appoint Wahab to the post.
“No consultation has been made on the appointment of Murtaza Wahab on the post,” the governor had said, adding that it could not happen as he belonged to a political party.
It had been agreed previously during a meeting attended by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah in the presence of Prime Minister Imran Khan, Asad Umar, and military leadership at the Governor House that the Karachi administrator would be an unbiased and non-political figure, said Imran Ismail.
