Karachi (HRNW) MQM-Pakistan asked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to intervene in the implementation of the agreement with PPP over supporting the coalition government.
Speaking during a press conference in Karachi, MQM-P leader and former mayor Wasim Akhtar expressed concerns over the delay in progress regarding the agreement between MQM-P and PPP.
“We have told Prime Minister about the current situation as no progress has been made yet with the Sindh government over the agreement,” he said.
Akhtar said MQM-P wants rural and urban area issues to be solved as PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto and co-chairman Asif Zardari also want a sovereign local bodies system.
“…but with the formation of the coalition government, now everyone is enjoying power, however, no progress is being made towards fulfilling the agreement,” he added.
The former mayor warned the coalition government of withdrawing support and said he “will not stand with the government unless a new local government act is formed.”
“[The] Sindh government is still hesitating in transferring powers to the lower level, therefore if the draft of local government acts is formed, it should be enacted immediately,” he demanded.
