KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) is considering bringing a no-confidence motion against Karachi Deputy Mayor Arshad Vohra during a meeting of the city council on Tuesday.
According to reports, City Mayor Waseem Akhtar will chair the city council meeting.
The MQM-P suffered a major setback on Sunday after Vohra bid the party adieu and joined Mustafa Kamal’s Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP).
It merits mentioning here that Vohra had claimed in Sunday’s press conference that MQM-P lawmakers were willing to ditch the party to join Kamal-led PSP.
Referring to Farooq Sattar’s last warning to party legislators, PSP President Qaimkhani said if Dr Farooq Sattar had moral standing, he along with his party men should resign from membership of the provincial and national assemblies as a large number of leaders associated with his party were ready to join the PSP.
“If MQM-P legislators resign, the PSP will field its candidates in the by-elections on the vacated seats,” he said.
