ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Quami Movement Pakistan’s (MQM-P) leader and Federal Minister for IT Syed Aminul Haque has said that in the current situation of political turmoil, his party stands by the PTI as long as the government abides by the agreement between both the parties.
In an interview with a US news agency, Aminul Haque said that MQM-P assured the Prime Minister of complete support with the government in the current political situation.
Aminul Haque said that his party’s decision to join the federal government after the 2018 general elections proved to be correct.
Amin-ul-Haque said that MQM Pakistan did not demand ministries or governorship in the government but demand the development of urban areas of Karachi and Sindh.
The MQM-P had a keen eye on the Karachi Development Package and the federal government would have to continue making positive progress on it to maintain the support of the MQM, he added.
The minister further said, “MQM is committed to maintaining democracy in the country. As a result, democratic solidity and the supremacy of parliament will be established”.
Criticizing the opposition he said that PDM has disappointed the people of Sindh by not talking about the issues of urban areas in its rallies in Karachi.
Aminul Haq highlighted that the Rs 113 billion development package for Karachi is that the federal and provincial governments are in agreement.
Earlier, the opposition had suggested that the MQM should secede from the government. With its seven seats, if the MQM separates from the ruling coalition, it will be difficult for the PTI government to maintain a majority in the National Assembly.
