The referendum will be held in three days.

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Monday said that a referendum amongst party workers will be carried out to decide if the party should join the Sindh government.

The referendum should be held across the country within three days, Hussain told members of MQM Coordination Committee in a live telephonic address in Karachi.

On Sunday, a three-member PPP delegation comprising, former interior minister Rehman Malik, Pir Mazharul Haq and Makhdoom Jamiluz Zaman held a meeting at the MQM’s Nine-Zero headquarters and invited the party to join the provincial government.

MQM office bearers advised Hussain to decide in favour of sitting on the opposition benches in the Sindh Assembly earlier on Monday.
