Summary MPAs of Mutahida Qaumi Movement say the law is a conspiracy to divide Sindh.
KARACHI (Web Desk) - A meeting of MQM’s parliamentary committee held in the chamber of Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly on Monday. The meeting rejected Sindh Local Government Act 2013 including its amended ordinance.
Talking to media after the meeting MQM’s parliamentary leader Sardar Ahmad said that the existing Local Government Amendment Ordinance was a black law through which the rural and urban population of Sindh has been divided.
MQM’s deputy parliamentary leader, Khawaja Izharul Hassan said that the common man would not be empowered by the Ordinance, as the Sindh government wants to keep its control and power intact through the bureaucracy. Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) gives the specter of a rural party, he said.
He further said that all the political parties in the province should get equal opportunity for participation in the LB elections, while efforts are afoot to derive desired results through designed Ordinance. Perhaps, the Sindh government wants that all other parties should boycott the elections, Khawaja Izharul Hassan added.
Later, a protest rally led by Syed Sardar Ahmad was taken out in which large number of MQM workers also participated.
The participants of the rally shouted slogans against the law and marched from assembly building to the Karachi Press Club.
