MQM will not accept Local Government bill: Altaf Hussain

KARACHI: Rejecting the Local Government Act 2013, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain has condemned the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) move of tabling the bill which was approved by the Sindh Assembly.

During a telephonic speech on Monday, Mr Hussain said that the PPP wanted rural-Urban and Sindh-non-Sindhi division in the province with the approval of the bill, which he said was tantamount to imposing British Raj.

He said that the PPP was hatching a conspiracy through this legislation but Sindhis and Baloch would foil its attempts to divide the province.

He appealed to the people to vote for MQM candidates in the by-elections. Hussain also said that conspiracies were being hatched against him at the international level.
