withdrew his earlier decision to sever ties with the party on Monday.

The MQM chief had tendered his resignation to party leadership on Monday morning, saying he was not able to bear the burden of leading the party any longer.

He had asked the party politicians to elect a new party chief by evening, drawing cries of disapproval from party activists.

Altaf's resignation had drawn emotional pleas and chants from MQM workers who urged him to take back his decision.

The MQM leader had made the announcement during a telephonic address to party leaders at MQM's Nine-Zero headquarters.

"I will not be leading MQM from now on," the MQM chief said.
