KARACHI, March 07 : The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Monday announced that it would be boycotting the Sindh Assembly session over the recent statements of provincial Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza.
Moreover, the MQM's Rabita Committee announced that the party would also boycott sessions of the National Assembly and the Senate.
The decision was taken in a joint session of the MQM's Rabita Committee in Pakistan and London.
The session decided that given the situation the MQM would no longer support the PPP.
Speaking to media representatives on Monday, the MQM leader Raza Haroon said it was not possible for the MQM to support the PPP anymore and that the party will continue to boycott the Sindh Assembly's session.
On Sunday, a fresh war of words between the Sindh Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza and MQM erupted after Mirza said that the People's Amn Committee was a sister organisation of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and dubbing all its members as criminals would be tantamount to levelling the same allegation against him.
The MQM on Sunday said the statement meant the minister's 'open support' for criminals and terrorists and said it was considering to part ways with the PPP-led coalition government in Sindh.
