HYDERABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s (MQM-P) leader Faisal Sabzwari Wednesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan would lay the foundation for the establishment of a public sector university in Hyderabad next month.

Talking to the media persons here, Sabzwari informed that a delegation of his party met the PM in Islamabad in this regard. The MQM-P’s leader criticized Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and its Sindh Government for ignoring the development of Karachi and Hyderabad during its tenure in the province. “The PPP’s Sindh government couldn’t even establish a model union council during the 11 years,” he said and contended that the existing local government system did not empower the local bodies. When the LG system was strong, Sabzwari said, the MQM carried out a range of development works in the cities in the previous decade. 

“There is only corruption in Sindh and the rulers make money through the fake accounts,” he alleged. However, he clarified that despite his party’s opposition to the PPP’s provincial government, the MQM-P would never become part of any unconstitutional move to remove the provincial government. Sabzwari claimed there were politicians in the PPP who wanted to part ways with the party before July 2018, general elections and that they had still not changed their minds. The MQM-P’s leader said the elected representatives or office-bearers of his party who fail to serve the people would face action and also not be given the party tickets in the next election. The elected representatives and local leaders of MQM-P were present on the occasion.
