KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Monday announced that it will be boycotting the Sindh Assembly session over the recent statements of provincial home minister Zulfiqar Mirza,AAJ TV reported.
Moreover, MQM’s coordination committee announced that the party will also boycott sessions of the National Assembly and the Senate.
The decision was taken in a joint session of MQM’s coordination committee in Pakistan and London.
The session decided that given the situation the MQM could no longer support the PPP.
On Sunday, a fresh war of words between the Sindh Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza and MQM erupted after Mirza said the people’s Amn Committee was a sister organisation of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and dubbing all its members as criminals would be tantamount to levelling the same allegation against him.
The MQM on Sunday said the statement meant the minister’s ‘open support’ for criminals and terrorists and said it was considering to part ways with the PPP-led coalition government in Sindh.
