MQM-P accepts Farooq Sattar’s resignation from Rabita Committee

MuttahidaQaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Saturday accepted the resignation of veteran MQM-P politician Farooq Sattar from its core decision-making body, the Rabita Committee and issued him a notice.

The notice was issued to Sattar for violating the party discipline and announcing a 22-member committee. The decision was announced at a party meeting held in Bahadurabad office of the MQM-P.

Rabita Committee deputy convener Kunwar Naveed Jamil said that they wanted Sattar to remain with them. “But everyone has to follow the party’s rules and discipline,” Kanwar told media.

Meanwhile, Sattar, who had announced the 22-member committee last week to steer the party out of an ‘organisational collapse’ said that he was issued a notice for demanding democratic right of the workers. He further said that dictatorship of a few select individuals prevailed in the party and there was no democracy left in its ranks.
