MQM's Rauf Siddiqui resigns from ministry over Karachi fire incident
Minister for Commerce and Industry Rauf Siddiqui says decision taken on the directives of his party.
Siddiqui, who belongs to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, said that the decision was taken on the directives of his party.
Forwarding his resignation to Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad, Siddiqui said that he wants a fair and transparent investigation to be carried out and that can only be possible when he is not holding the ministry.
Siddiqui had earlier said that the land was allotted by his ministry but after that it becomes the responsibility of SITE, the labour department and civil defence authorities to inspect code violations.
He had felt the owners were first responsible and then government agencies.
