KARACHI:

Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) Senior Deputy Convener of Amir Khan has said that MQM voters remain loyal to their party and will ensure a massive victory in the next elections.

"We will banish Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from Karachi in the next polls and take back the 14 seats they had snatched through rigging," Amir Khan said addressing an Iftar dinner at Landhi Town organised by MQM-P.

Amir further said that MQM-P had reached an agreement with the PPP to empower the local government system in Sindh in the light of the orders of the Supreme Court.

In another agreement, PML-N has promised MQM-P to build a new state-run university for Karachi.

The agreements reached between the MQM, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are only to solve people's problems rather for political benefits of few individuals, he said.

Amir said Imran Khan did not mention any conspiracy letter on his arrival in Bahadurabad, nor did any PTI leader said anything in any meeting.

All the talk of a foreign conspiracy is based on lies and is a flop drama, he said, adding that PTI faced what it deserved due to its anti-people policy and bad advisors.

Calling out to Imran Khan, Amir said, "if you (Imran) are demanding elections, then hold elections so that you know your status." Claiming a stark defeat for

Imran, the MQM-P leader said that PTI snatched 14 National Assembly seats of Karachi from MQM in 2018.

"We will take these seats back in a way that PTI will be banished from Karachi."

Sajjad Mahdi | 2 years ago | Reply Believe u me the vote bank of mqm as of today is almost zero in Karachi. It would be a miracle if mqm is even able to retain one or two seats. Goodbye mqm. Your game is over after being sold out to zardari mafia in lieu of cash and MG suv s vehicles
