Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Monday re-submitted their requisition to call a session in the Sindh Assembly to discuss the situation in Karachi, Express News reported.
MQM's first requisition had stated that a Sindh Assembly session be called on August28. However, Speaker Sindh Assembly, Agha Siraj Durrani had pointed out that some of the signatures of MQM members on the requisition did not appear to be consistent.
MQM then resubmitted its requisition to Deputy Speaker Sindh Assembly, Shehla Raza who said that the requisition will be checked for its legality.
MQM leader Khwaja Izharul Hasan said that a session needs to be called to inform the citizens of Karachi about steps being taken to curb terrorism.
MQM senior leader Syed Sardar Ahmad said that Speaker Sindh Assembly had reservations with the earlier requisition but a session needs to be called within 14 days.
A day earlier, MQM leader Nisar Ahmed Panhwar had asked the federal government to take notice of the brutal attacks on their workers.
