Karachi, Feb. 16 (TNS): Amid rifts in the party, MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar on Friday offered reconciliation to the party’s Bahadurabad faction to end the current deadlock over the issue of Senate tickets.
“After days of consultations, we have decided to offer those in Bahadurabad that they can submit their four names for Senate nominations and we will accept those,” said the party leader.
He further said that he was willing to take four names for Senate from the opposing group and will “support the names without comment”.
Sattar said the issue was not related to his ego as “if it was about Farooq Sattar’s ego, the issue would be left hanging”.
Referring to the party’s opposing group which emerged over Senate nominations, the MQM-P leader further said that the workers were with him and the perception should not be given that he was being stubborn.
He also said that a notice has been served to the Bahadurabad leaders regarding their convention being held today.
“People are being forcefully being brought to the convention and this is not appropriate,” added Sattar.
Reiterating his earlier stance, the leader said the issue was not over Senate tickets but “something else”.
