KARACHI, FEB 11 (DNA) – Coordination committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQMP) has sacked Dr Farooq Sattar as convener of the political party on Sunday, a day after the rift was reported to have been resolved.

Convener Kanwar Naveed Jamil addressed the media today in the metropolis and announced that Dr Sattar was relieved of his position as convener, effective immediately.

He complained that Dr Sattar’s mistake caused MQM’s resigtration to be cancelled by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). He said that senior members and workers of the organisation had elected Dr Sattar as the convener.

Jamil accused Dr Sattar, MQMP chief of altering the constitution of the organisation to favour his interests. He asserted that senior members had resisted inclusion of Tessori in the coordination committee earlier and now members were not in favour of him having the ticket for Senate elections.
