Three MQM ministers tender resignation

ISLAMABAD: Two Federal and one State Minister from the MQM have tendered their resignations, Geo News reported. The Ministers, Dr Farooq Sattar, Babar Ghauri and Dr Nadeem have sent their resignation letters to President Zardari.

Speaking to Geo News, Dr Sattar said that the government is giving them dictation and now that they are in the opposition, they would pursue the government to solve the problems of the people.

He added that the MQM in the past was a coalition partner in the Federal and Sindh governments, but they were never treated like coalition partners.

Dr. Sattar said that in the past three years, they were never consulted on key decisions and the MQM could no longer work on dictation.

“We are in the opposition now and the government should respect us”, he added.

Meanwhile MQM ministers in Sindh have sent their resignations to acting Governor Nisar Khurro.
