MQM Pakistan expels Ali Raza Abidi

Author: Web Desk

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan ended the basic membership of party leader Syed Ali Raza Abidi on Sunday. Abidi has been directed to resign from the National Assembly as well.

MQM Pakistan said that the step was taken as Abidi did not follow policies taken August 23 onwards.

On August 23, MQM Pakistan had distanced itself from controversial anti-Pakistan statements made by the party leadership in London, with Deputy Convener Farooq Sattar taking control of the party leadership. Sattar had said that future party decisions would be made by the MQM Rabita Committee in Pakistan.

On Oct 23, MQM Pakistan leadership expelled 11 members from the party fold, advising workers to not keep any contact with them. The MQM Pakistan Rabita Committee revoked membership of 11 affiliates for violating party discipline and expelled them from the party.
