Senior Pakistan People Party (PPP) leader and Sindh senior minister Dr Zulfiqar Ali Mirza here on Sunday announced resignation from his party post as well as membership of National Assembly.
Addressing a crowded press conference at the Karachi Press Club, he expressed serious reservations on the policy of government about the Karachi law and order. He said he would continue to work as ordinary party workers.
He said Ebad had been a runaway Muttahida leader and facing murder charges when he was made governor and he had again fled the country. Mirza claimed that the MQM was regretting its decision to quit the PPP-led coalition government “on the wrong advice of its friends”.
Breathing fire over those demanding a separate province in Sindh, Mirza said no one could dare talk about dividing Sindh and said that these demands were coming from those who Sindh sheltered when they were helpless migrants decades ago. “They can only talk about separating Karachi from Sindh over ‘our’ dead bodies,” he declared.
The former home minister also revealed that it was he who had prisoners shifted from Karachi to interior Sindh. He said all those shifted from Karachi jails were convicts. The revelation would rub salt in the wounds of the MQM leadership, who has alleged that their workers have been shifted from Karachi jails to those in interior Sindh to punish the party for quitting the coalition
