Summary Farooq Sattar described the decision as a clear message that the federal government no longer required the MQM-P’s support
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) senior leader Dr Farooq Sattar on Thursday strongly reacted on the removal of Kamran Tessori from the position of governor and said that the MQM-P should consider the issue as a “red line”.
Talking to media, Farooq Sattar said the party had not been taken into confidence regarding the removal of Tessori and described the decision as a clear message that the federal government no longer required the MQM-P’s support.
Sattar said the party leadership, including chairman Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, learned about the development through the media and had not received any prior information or consultation from the government.
“This was a clear message to us by PM Shehbaz that they don’t need us anymore,” Sattar said, adding that the party would decide its response to the development after Ramazan.
He said the MQM-P should consider the issue a “red line” and review its participation in the federal coalition, noting that the governorship of Sindh had been part of the party’s agreement with PML-N when it joined the government.
