ISLAMABAD: Parliamentary leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in the National Assembly, Dr Farooq Sattar on Wednesday said he was certain about ‘double standards dual policy’ of the Speaker before raising the issue in the house today.
Speaking to Geo News outside the Parliament building, he said, “This wasn’t a political gamble… we will not return to the house after today”.
Dr Sattar said he was confident that their resignations would practically be approved without much delay, adding that the resignations of MQM MNAs would be sent for approval after legal proceedings today.
“I was sure about this display of double standards and dual policy… I knew I would be treated as a different Pakistani… I knew that PTI members would receive different treatment than us,” he said.
The MQM leader said they made a serious attempt to resign from the Parliament and vowed not to return to the assembly.
PTI members, on the other hand, returned to the assembly after much humiliation, he added.
