Sindh government: Chief minister accepts MQM resignations
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Sunday accepted the resignations of three Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) cabinet members.
Five lawmakers were part of the Sindh cabinet out of which three – Faisal Sabzwari, Adil Siddiqi and Abdul Haseeb Khan – resigned in protest against Khursheed Shah’s remarks about Mohajirs.
Spokesperson for CM confirmed that resignations of two ministers and an adviser were accepted.
On October 19, MQM had announced to quit the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led Sindh coalition government. MQM had claimed that due to PPP’s politics of hatred, Sindh has been divided into Sindh-one and Sindh-two.
Tensions between the two political parties flared after comments on the word ‘Mohajir’ by the Opposition Leader in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah.
