KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) will sit on opposition benches, decided MQM’s Coordination Committee’s meeting held simultaneously in Karachi and London on Sunday.
The meeting of MQM’s Coordination Committee, taking serious exception, among other things, to the massive hike in prices of petroleum products by the government at the outset of new-year, finally decided to move from government to opposition benches.
Talking to Geo News, MQM leader Faisal Sabzwari regretted that despite repeated calls made by his party, the government failed to take any practical steps towards redressal of MQM’s grievances. “This forced Muttahida Qaumi Movement to take the extreme step of sitting on the opposition benches both in the National Assembly and the Senate,” he added.
Faisal Sabzwari said now MQM is weighing all the options including parting ways with government in Sindh government. He said MQM would oppose all the anti-people decisions of the government.
Reiterating MQM’s stance on imposition of taxes, he said the government should tax the income from agriculture and the landlords. “The government should tax landlords rather than the poor,” he said.
He said MQM has made the decision with an honest intent.
When asked whether the MQM’s meeting discussed no confidence motion against the Prime Minister, Faisal Sabzwari replied in negative.
