KARACHI, August 9(ABC): Expressing concerns over the prolonged delay in the implementation of the agreement made with the MQM-P, the party urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to play his role in this critical situation.
The MQM-P coordination committee held an important meeting at its Bahadurabad office to discuss the implementation status of the party’s agreements with the federal and Sindh governments after it became part of the current ruling alliance, reported.
After the meeting — MQM-P — the key coalition partner of the PML-N-led coalition government, said, “The pressure of the workers and the general public on the party has been increasing, and they want them to make a decision in this situation.”
Expressing concerns over the delay in the implementation of the agreements, the committee members said that the attitude of the PPP’s provincial government regarding the agreement reached between the two parties is irresponsible.
The meeting, which was presided over by MQM-P convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, discussed that the PPP’s top leadership had promised the MQM-P of formulating the local government law in accordance with Article 140-A of the constitution, as directed by the Supreme Court.
However, they lamented, despite the fact that several negotiations have been held in the past three plus months, the agreement could not be implemented due to the unserious behaviour of the PPP.
