The Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Dr Farooq Sattar expressed his concerns on undercounting of the Mohajir population in the census. Speaking at the Iftar dinner, Sattar warned that the people of Karachi are being counted less in the census, and that it feels like only men are being counted, while women are not.
He emphasised that MQM is united and organised among its people in this difficult time, and that the party will not tolerate any attempts to capture Karachi by underestimating the Mohajir population. “We have been halved every time and this time too there is a conspiracy to count us less. The feudal lords are trying to make their constituencies at 15,000 and Muhajir constituencies at 90,000. We are warning that if anyone is thinking that they will capture Karachi by undercounting the Muhajir population, then they are all mistaken”, said Sattar.
Meahwhile, MQM leader and Member of the National Assembly, Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, speaking at an Iftar party, said that MQM has begun its journey afresh. Mustafa Kamal has been given huge responsibilities of party and so he cannot be nominated for governorship. He said, Kamran Tessori is party’s nominated governor and no one can replace him.
