KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) is facing internal party matters since 30 years, as some influential people are exploiting the party and no one can suspend any party worker without serving show-cause notice.
This was stated by MQM-P Coordination Committee’s former Deputy Convenor Shahid Pasha while addressing a press conference at Karachi Press Club (KPC) along with members of MQM-P Workers Action Committee on Sunday. It may be noted that Pasha’s membership was suspended for violating party discipline few days back.
Dejected Pasha said that he was convenor of MQM-P Coordination Committee since 2015 and was elected by the party workers in transparent manner. “I had faced many cases and was abducted several times. I had started asking my party leaders about their assets and use of public funds.”
Pasha alleged that MQM-P was being run by some defaulters and corrupt people and they had nothing to do with Muhajirs, as they joined the party for achieving money. “I always fought for the rights of party activists and was got arrested and threatened over this issue.” He said: “If any worker asks question from a leader, he is suspended from the party membership. “Does any worker has not right to ask question? MQM-P is a constitutional party and no one has right to suspend any worker or leader without serving any show-cause notice.”
He said that they would nominate their workers as independent in general elections, and if Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Farooq Sattar wanted to save MQM-P, then they should come on one page. He alleged that those people had held strikes in favour of criminals and used workers. NAB should carry out investigation against corrupt people and ask them about their assets. He asked MQM-P to carry out intra-party election.
