Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has instructed party members to form a committee to draft legislation over MQM-P’s charter of demands on the provincial and federal levels.
PPP members in the legislative committe will include Nasir Shah Imtiaz Sheikh Saeed Ghani and Murtaza Wahab.
The decision came after MQM-P’s Wasim Akhtar created an uproar in the National Assembly over newly-appointed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s failure to mention his party in the inaugural speech.
After the speech of PM Shehbaz Sharif, Waseem Akhtar stood up in the National Assembly (NA) gallery and complained to MQM-P convenor Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Aminul Haque regarding the newly-elected prime minister’s speech today.
Akhtar said that the opposition’s movement has reached a conclusive end due to the agreement between MQM-P and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
“We have a complaint. Shehbaz Sharif should have mentioned the agreement [in his speech]. Shehbaz Sharif became PM today due to the agreement. MQM-P was not mentioned in the speech. Why Sharif did not mention Karachi pacakge in his speech?,” said Waseem Akhtar.
Prior to the no-trust motion against former PM Imran Khan, an 18-point agreement had been reached between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and the Pakistan People’s
Party (PPP) which was named the “Charter of Rights”.
The agreement had been signed by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and MQM-P’s Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, while Shehbaz Sharif, Fazlur Rehman, Akhtar Mengal and Khalid Magsi signed the agreement as guaranteer.
