NewsMQM rejects Sindh budget, calls for shutter down strike tomorrow
KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has given a call for shutter down strike across Sindh on Sunday against the provincial budget.
The decision was made during an emergency meeting of the MQM's Rabita Committee, Pakistan and London, here on Saturday.
The Rabita Committee termed the Sindh budget 2015-16 as ‘biased’, saying the Pakistan People’s Party's (PPP) provincial government presented anti-urban Sindh budget which shows prejudiced thinking of the ruling party.
The Coordination Committee further said, “MQM will raise voice against anti-people budget at every platform.”
MQM’s Rabitta Committee has also appealed traders, industrialists and transporters to support the strike call by shutting their business tomorrow.
Interior Minister condemns strike call
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has condemned MQM’s strike call, saying that assemblies are the best platform to resolve issues of the masses.
Talking to the media in Taxila, Nisar Ali Khan said obstacles would be placed on the way of wrongdoers in order to ensure rule of law.
