Alliance with MQM out of necessity than choice, says PTI Karachi chief

Naqvi says he standby on his accusations against MQM-P

Naqvi on Sunday said that the alliance with MQM-P was made due to certain necessities.

While addressing a press conference, Naqvi had said that he stood by his accusations levelled against the MQM and the party went into alliance with the MQM because they had not enough party votes to elect Imran Khan as leader of the house in the national assembly.

The comments has generated strong response from the MQM-P.

PTI leader Naeemul Haque later said Naqvi's remarks did not reflect party policy but were, in fact, his own opinion, and did not benefit the party in any way.

"The alliance with MQM is a strategy, not a necessity," Haque added.
