London: Reacting to MQM Pakistan’s decision to appoint Farooq Sattar as Convener of the party’s Rabita Committee, London based MQM leaders have cancelled his basic membership.
According to press release issued from London, MQM’s Mustafa Azizabadi, Qasim Ali Raza and Wasay Jalil cancelled Sattar’s party membership. The senior MQM leaders suggested Sattar’s party membership has been cancelled because he committed ‘treason’ repeatedly.
Sattar has no right to impose administrative decisions and he is no more MQM’s elected parliamentary leader, the leaders were quoted as saying. They further said Nadeem Nusrat is the only elected convener of MQM.
MQM London leaders in joint statement also asked all the parliamentarians to resign from their seats and removed Farooq Sattar as Parliamentary Leader of the party in National Assembly.
Late on Saturday, MQM-Pakistan named party leader Farooq Sattar as convener of its Rabita Committee amid a major reshuffle in party ranks. MQM Pakistan turned down the offer of party’s London chapter leader Nadeem Nusrat to rejoin the party founder after tendering an apology.
The committee named Amir Khan as senior deputy convener and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui was designated as deputy convener.
