KARACHI: Nov 10 (TNS):Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Farooq Sattar on Friday demanded the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to disqualify Deputy Mayor Arshad Vohra from holding public office.

In a letter to the ECP chief, the MQM-P leader said that Vohra’s joining of Pak Sarzameen Party is a violation of the Constitution hence he should be immediately disqualified, and a by-election should be called on his local council seat.

Sattar demanded the immediate issuance of a notification to de-seat Vohra.

The MQM-P leader, in his letter to the ECP, has mentioned the party’s consultative meeting held on November 3 in which the party gave him the authority to pursue legal action against Vohra.

On October 29, Vohra announced to join the Mustafa Kamal-led PSP in a press conference.
