Express News screengrab showing MQM's Rauf Siddiqui taking oath as Minister.
Two Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) members of Sindh Assembly took oath at the Governor house on Tuesday evening, as the opposition party starts its migration to the treasury benches, Express News reported.
MPAs Rauf Siddiqui and Dr Sagheer Ahmed were administered the oath of Sindh ministers by Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan at a ceremony at the Governor House on Tuesday evening.
Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah was also in attendance along with a number of MQM members and MPs.
It had been reported earlier that the MQM would be joining the Sindh government to become Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) coalition partner for a second time.
Sources suggested that the MQM is expected to be handed the sports, youth affairs, health and environment ministries. It is further expected that MQM will also get a share of key bureaucratic postings along with three advisers to the chief minister.

we are fighting against feudalism,bhai said,MQM is the only party with principles,bhai said !!
They just can't stay out of it.
Dictatorship is condemned, is this democracy commendable?
....and history repeats itself, first as tragedy and second as farce.
MQM is just a vulture that survives on the meat of Ministries in the Government (either provincial or federal).
Old habits die hard...
There are some proven facts which do not make 'news' - MQM joining the government is one of them. One can count the number of days they were not part of government since 1988; whether it is PMLN, PMLQ, or PPP, MQM is their ally if they are in power.
Another Ray of Hope....I just hope it doesn't end up like last instance.
Seems like no Sindh 2 demand for a long long time. Full marks to Bilawal & co. for correct value and worth assessment.
Good decision. Now every body should work for the common good. Unless PPP accepts MQM whole heartedly and gives them free hand to serve people this coalition will be in danger again. The division of rural and urban should diminish now.
Hypocrisy incognito !!!
Aaye ram, ab kub jayenge? Fish cant survive without water. So all those hue and cry about extra judicial killings were shots in the dark. All forgiven and forgotten when heads get together in Dubai and London. TU NAY MAARI ENTRIYAAN, DIL MAY BAJE GANTTIYAN, TAN TAN TAN
Yawwwwwwnnnnn!!
