ISLAMABAD: Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq on Sunday said that he recognises MQM Pakistan as the only registered party and Farooq Sattar as the only leader of the party.
The NA Speaker was talking to Geo News and said that he does not consider any other party than MQM Pakistan.
He said that if anyone wants to de-seat Farooq Sattar they should approach the Election Commission or send a reference.
Earlier, MQM Pakistan named party stalwart Dr. Farooq Sattar as convener of its Rabita Committee, amid major reshuffle in party rank and file.
The move, however, did not go well with MQM London whose senior members issued a statement shortly afterwards cancelling Sattar’s party membership.
MQM’s Mustafa Azizabadi, Qasim Ali Raza, Wasay Jalil and Muhammad Ashfaq issued a statement saying Farooq Sattar no longer belonged to the party because he committed ‘treason’ repeatedly.
