The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has announced their schedule for an intra-party referendum that will decide if the party should join the People’s Party of Pakistan (PPP) government in Sindh.
The nationwide referendum, which will take place on June 20, was announced on Tuesday and will be handled by the new Rabita (coordinating) Committee. MQM Chief Altaf Hussan has directed this committee to decide if the party should join the Sindh government or sit on the opposition benches in the provincial assembly. The call for referendum comes after a Pakistan People’s Party delegation, led by Rehman Malik, visited the MQM headquarters at Nine-Zero and formally invited the MQM to join the Sindh government.
