Khalid Maqbool said that the MQM is standing in its place and not seeking a new place.

“We have placed our old demands before the opposition,” he said. “The memorandum of demands is neither an alliance nor an agreement but it is only an intent,” the MQM leader said.

He said political instability always exists, it is only being sighted now.

“The change of face will not change the conditions,” Khalid Maqbool said. “Only a change in intention can improve the conditions,” he added.

It is to be mentioned here that the MQM has been a coalition partner in the PTI government, which distanced it from the government and held talks with the opposition parties, who have announced their move for the no-confidence against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
