Disgruntled’ Farooq Sattar on Monday filed a petition in the Sindh High Court (SHC) after considering his expulsion ‘illegal’ from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P). Reportedly, he has challenged the party decision in the petition by mentioning that the decision was against the election act as well as the party’s rules and regulations. Meanwhile, senior leader of MQM-P Rauf Siddiqui said that Sattar could rejoin the party and if he considers something to be wrong, it could be corrected. Sattar said that there was only Kunwar Naveed’s signature on the expulsion document. On November 8, 2018, the MQM-Pakistan expelled its senior leader Dr Farooq Sattar from the party for violating party s discipline. MQM-Pakistan’s Rabita Committee, which is considered to be the party’s decision-making council, suspended Sattar s membership.
