MQM TO BOYCOTT SINDH ASSEMBLY SESSION The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has announced today (Monday) to boycott Sindh Assembly session after the recent statement of Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulifqar Mirza who declared People’s Aman Committee as the wing of Pakistan People’s Party.
Mirza announced on Sunday during the public gathering on the death anniversary of slain PPP leader Abdullah Murad Baloch in Malir that People’s Aman Committee is the sister organization of PPP. “Being the senior vice president of PPP Sindh chapter, I announce People’s Aman Committee is the sister organization of PPP.” “If all the members of People’s Aman Committee are criminals, then Home Minister (Mirza) is also a criminal.”
“Extortion is at peak in the city,” said MQM’s Haider Abbas Rizvi. While talking to SAMAA on Monday, he alleged that Mirza played a major role to create rifts between two coalition partners.
Rizvi said that his party considered boycotting Senate and National Assembly sessions as well.
