ISLAMABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) lawmakers have withdrawn their resignations from the Senate on Monday.
All the legislators of the MQM had resigned from the Senate, National Assembly and Sindh Assembly on August 12 against the alleged highhandedness of Rangers against MQM workers.
They only agreed to return to the assemblies following the signing of an agreement with the ruling party and the formation of a committee to hear out public complaints against law enforcement agencies.
MQM Senator Tahir Hussain Mashhadi said the party’s parliamentarians would meet Senate Secretary Amjed Parvez Malik to withdraw their resignations from the Senate on Monday.
‘As the parliamentary leader of the MQM,’ he said, ‘I thank the honourable prime minister and Altaf Hussain for their sagacity, for their love for parliamentary democracy, for their spirit of reconciliation and for trying to sort out the problem.’ But now that the government has formed the Grievance Redressal Committee, he added, the parliamentarians were satisfied that some justice would prevail for the people of Karachi.
