Responding to a tweet by someone surmising over rumoured deal of Farooqui and Kamal to join PSP, the MPA said ‘don’t do bakwas….fake news, fake people’.
The decision to suspend the MPA was taken by party’s London Rabita Committee.
Ms Farooqui had tweeted to confirm her suspension from the party for three months. She described that she was sidelined from the party affairs ‘for her peaceful message to workers on both sides’.

However, she didn’t elaborate the second party she was referring whom she gave a ‘peaceful message’. Some believe it could be Mustafa Kamal-led Pak Sarzameen Party.
