KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) coordination committee (Rabita Committee) on Saturday announced to withdraw the letter sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and go to PIB Colony to bring party convener Farooq Sattar back to Bahadurabad, MQM-P headquarters.
“The coordination committee has made many other decisions as well, but the matter of the letter is primary.

The committee had written to the ECP apprising it that the committee members had the authority to nominate for the upcoming Senate elections, which was deemed by the estranged party chief as breach of party’s code of conducts.
