Dr Sattar said, “We understand that stopping the people of Kashmir from their right to vote by a political party claiming to be the champion of democracy is not only worthy of strong condemnation but dishonourable at the same time.”
**Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was pressurising MQM to withdraw its candidates from the seats, he said, adding, that polling was postponed when MQM refused to withdraw contesting from the same seats.
**He further pointed out that interior minister among various other personalities pressurised his party (MQM).
Despite the fact that Sindh chief minister had himself accepted on the floor of the house that the law and order situation had improved , IG Police Sindh Wajid Durrani was asked to make a fictitious report highlighting security concerns, he informed.
Ok thanks for that! Its my personal point of view, but I think if MQM could have exposed the government while staying in the elections it would have sent a powerful message. But this way Government has got their way at the expense of MQM.
