A statement issued by MQM here on Thursday that a joint meeting of the committee was held in London and Pakistan simultaneously to deliberate on the situation arising after the passage of the Bill for this purpose in the Sindh Assembly by the PPP.

The meeting said that the Sindh Peoples Local Government Act was passed after lengthy discussions and consultations between both the parties and in the interest of people of Sindh.

It was decided in the meeting that the MQM would start a legal and constitutional struggle against the dissolution of the local government system, and it would make every democratic effort to devolve the power at the lowest level.

The Co-ordination Committee asked the people not to get disappointed and maintain unity.
