KARACHI: Alluding to strong public pressure to quit the federal government against the federal cabinet’s decision to uphold the controversial census 2017, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leaders on Friday said that the party has been left with no option but to take to the streets to solicit public opinion whether to remain in the PTI coalition.
“Now only the people will decide whether the MQM-P should remain in the government fold or not,” MQM-P’s convenor Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said while addressing a press conference at the party’s headquarters on Friday.
Siddiqui said that the people of Karachi and other urban areas in Sindh were not properly counted in the census. “The population of Karachi is not less than 35 million, which was deliberately downplayed,” he said. “But after approving the controversial census, the federal government has approved the excesses against the residents of urban Sindh.”
