- MQM-P ‘calls emergency press conference’ over security removal.
- Federal ministers Khalid Maqbool, Mustafa Kamal lose security.
- Security of Farooq Sattar, Anis Kaimkhani, Ali Khurshidi withdrawn.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) expressed serious concerns after security was withdrawn from its key ministers, lawmakers, and leaders in the early hours of Tuesday.
Security has been abruptly withdrawn from leaders of the MQM-P, including federal ministers and members of the Sindh Assembly, triggering concern within the party, sources said.
The development follows sharp criticism by MQM-P ministers and MPAs against the Sindh government, particularly over the Gul Plaza tragedy.
Sources privy to the development told Geo News that the party leadership had issued strong statements against the provincial government following the deadly blaze at the shopping centre that claimed 73 lives with a search operation still in progress to find missing persons.
Security cover has been withdrawn from Federal Ministers Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Mustafa Kamal, senior leaders Farooq Sattar, Anis Qaimkhani, as well as MQM-P’s Opposition Leader in the Sindh Assembly Ali Khurshidi.
The party sources described the development as alarming and decided to hold an emergency press conference to respond to the withdrawal of security and to outline the MQM-P’s position on the matter.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
