| [Dawn] MQM Ministers Dr Farooq Sattar, Babar Ghauri and Dr Nadeem sent their resignations to President Zardari on Tuesday, DawnNews reported. The MQM on Monday decided to part ways with the Pakistain People's Party and sit on opposition benches in the National Assembly, Senate and Sindh Assembly in protest against the postponement of election on two Bloody Karachi seats of the Azad Jamu and Kashmire Legislative Assembly. Thirteen provincial ministers and one adviser also handed over their resignations in the Sindh Assembly to MQM Parliamentary Leader Syed Sardar Ahmed. Provincial ministers Faisal Sabzwari and Dr Saghir Ahmed will resign upon their return to Pakistain from abroad. The resignations received by Syed Sardar Ahmed have been sent to the acting Governor of Sindh, Nisar Khuhro. The MQM said it would join the opposition ranks at the national level and in the southern province of Sindh, citing the "dictatorial" and "brutal" approach of the ruling Pakistain People's Party. The move has left the PPP with a slender majority in the national government, and analysts believe it could ultimately lead to snap polls. "Our 14 ministers in the Sindh provincial government tendered their resignations today," MQM front man Wasey Jalil said. |
