He said that MQM has taken the choice to make its own decision in its hands now.
Sattar said that attempts were being made to introduce 4-5 new versions of MQM. He stated that party headquarters, Nine-zero, were sealed illegaly and unconstitutionally since the past few days.

Khawaja Izhar requested that the female workers of MQM which were apprehended by Sindh police should be released. He said that such an incident never took place in Pakistan s history. He also appealed to various political leaders of the country as well as Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif and Rangers Director General (DG) Major General Bilal Akbar about the release of MQM s female workers.
