Islamabad: (Staff Reporter) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had requested the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui to abstain from contesting the by-elections.
According to the source, in a telephonic conversation held between the PM and MQM-P’s leader, the latter responded to the request by saying ‘there was a difference in the political situation in Karachi and Hyderabad and it was unsuitable to impose one decision in both places’.
As per details Mr. Siddiqui added the MQM-P had already boycotted the local elections and it would hold consultation to decide about its participation in the by-polls.
Meanwhile the MQM-P’s leader assured the prime minister of a timely decision after seeking the opinion of the coordination committee.
