HYDERABAD: Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairman Mustafa Kamal on Thursday said that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) rather than raising hue and cry over census discrepancies in Karachi, should resolve it as their two members are part of the federal cabinet, ARY NEWS reported.
“Two MQM-P lawmakers Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Farogh Naseem sit alongside prime minister in the cabinet meetings and should resolve this issue rather than blaming others,” he said while addressing the party activists in Hyderabad.
The PSP chief said that if MQM-P, that is part of the federal coalition government, would rectify these discrepancies then they would raise banners thanking them in nook and corner of the metropolitan.
Kamal said that the MQM-P blames provincial government for depriving them of municipal powers through the local government bills introduced in the provincial assembly. “Instead, it was MQM-P that handed over these powers in 2013,” the PSP chief claimed.
