October 30, 2017
KARACHI, Oct 27 (INP): The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has devised a future political strategy to prevent its workers from defecting to Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP). This strategy was devised by the MQM-P after its National Assembly members and deputy mayor Karachi defected to PSP, according to sources within the MQM-P. Under the strategy, no immediate action would be taken on the resignation option. However, if the MQM-P Rabita Committee unanimously decides then, in the first step, its MNAs, next its MPAs and in the last, its local government representatives, would have to resign from their respective posts. Advertisement The MQM-P leadership also decided to approach the federal government regarding the matter, said the sources, adding that the leadership would make it clear to the federal government that if it does not stop pressuring its members to join the PSP, MQM-P will consider the options of approaching the courts and holding public protests. The sources further said the MQM-P leadership was ‘upset’ with the defection of its party members. INP/AK
