KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) believes in Sindh’s unity and will not accept its division under any condition. This was stated by the member Co-ordination Committee Qasim Ali Raza reacting over a statement given by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif that Karachi should be made a province.
Explaining the position of MQM in the backdrop of Punjab chief minister’s statement, Raza said the people of Karachi and Sindh had put no such demand forward. “However, demands of Hazara province and Seraiki province have been proposed in Punjab”, he added. He said that the MQM had stated on various occasions that demands for new provinces should be decided according to the wishes and aspirations of people by holding public referendums.
He said the statement of Punjab CM is beyond understanding and it may be an attempt to thwart the creation of new provinces in Punjab. staff report
