Pakistan’s Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) lawmakers in Sindh Assembly Friday have decided not to tender resignations after the MPs were asked by Nadeem Nusrat to resign as they had won elections on the MQM founder’s mandate.

The MPAs exchanged views on the prevailing political situation emerged after MQM London chapter asked lawmakers of the party in Pakistan to resign for presenting a resolution against MQM Founder Altaf Hussain.

The MPAs reposed complete confidence in the leadership of Dr Farooq Sattar. Opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly, Khawaja Izharul Hassan could not attend the meeting as he was in the court.

Only one MNA, Sufyan Yousuf heeded to the instructions and sent his resignation to MQM’s London Secretariat.

Nadeem Nusrat, a coterie of MQM founder, on Wednesday strongly criticised the party lawmakers for presenting and supporting a resolution against Altaf Hussain in Sindh Assembly and asked them to resign.
