Yesterday, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) convener Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui announced his resignation as Federal Minister for Information and Technology.

Speaking at a press conference, he said his being a member of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s cabinet served no useful purpose as there has been no progress towards the removal of their reservations concerning the issues confronting the port city.

However, Khalid Maqbool said his party would not withdraw support for the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Prime Minister Imran Khan has on Sunday directed PTI leadership to clear political reservations of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (Pakistan).

Prime Minister said MQM (P)’s demands are lawful, the present leadership will keep all the promises made to the party.
