KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan leader Faisal Sabzwari has on Tuesday ruled out any consideration to join Sindh cabinet by MQM-P, ARY News reported.
Talking to ARY News program Bakhabar Savera Faisal Sabzwari said MQM-P tried to work in coalition with the PPP government after 18th amendment.
MQM-P can join back the federal cabinet, if country’s situation was improved, else can decide to sit on the opposition benches as well, Sabzwari said.
Replying to a question, the MQM-P leader said party convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui informed Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem after his decision to step back from the post of the federal minister.
