Karachi: Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) MNA Khawaja Sohail Mansoor has resigned from the party’s coordination committee on Saturday.
Khwaja Sohail Mansoor, who was elected as Member of the National Assembly from Karachi in general elections held in year 2008 and 2013, has sent his resignation letter to Convener Rabita Committee Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
Speaking to the journalists, the MQM leader said that he was upset due to some wrong policies of the party. “I am not leaving the party and I am not joining the PPP. I am also happy that PPP gave ticket to Nisar Khuhro. “I have personal relationship with Nisar Khuhro, therefore I decided not to submit my papers,” he added.
He further said that if MQM has not decided to field any candidate then there should be no disagreement, adding that he will not submit papers against his friend Nisar Khuhro. “This seat belongs to the PPP and the PPP should get it.”
“Karachi’s sense of deprivation is further deepening. I have no right to sit on the chair of the Rabita Committee,” he added.
