KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leaders will be holding an important meeting of the party on Monday in the wake of MQM-P leader and Karachi Deputy Mayor Arshad Vohra’s announcement on Sunday stating that he was joining Mustafa Kamal’s Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP).
The MQM-P meeting will be headed by party leader Farooq Sattar at the party’s temporary office in Bahadurabad later on Monday.
Vohra, while explaining his reasons for joining the PSP on Sunday explained said that the MQM-P under Sattar’s leadership “lacked vision”.
“We have waited for one year, even addressed issues with party leadership and they said a plan would be formed. When will the planning happen?” he asked.
“I cannot face the people I made promises to […] and they have voted for me to be in this position.”
“The way Mustafa Kamal delivered for Karachi, whatever resources he had, can be upheld as a successful example for a mayor. Unfortunately, we have not been able to follow that example. That’s why I have joined him. I don’t want to criticise anyone, but if I can’t follow through on my responsibilities then it’s better to leave the seat,” he added.
Addressing the media following the announcement about his decision on Sunday, Vohra said that a number of MQM-P members are in line to leave the party for the PSP.
In retaliation, Sattar stated the party does not want to partake in politics of pressure, adding that the party can bring back the members that have joined rival political groups.
