MQM threatened to stage walk out from the assembly along with coalition partners

ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Qaumi Movement raised voice on the issue of new provinces and threatened to stage walk out from the assembly along with coalition partners.
MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi, on point of order, said that resolution of new provinces was not included again in today's agenda of the assembly.
On this, Deputy Speaker Faisal Karim Kundi said how could it be included when the resolution was not presented in the NA.
Farooq Sattar warned that if voting was not held on the resolution, MQM would boycott the session along with FATA, PML-Q and JUI MNAs.
Ghulam Ahmed Bilour of ANP said it is not even a year that the provinces were empowered and now the conspiracies were being hatched to reverse that. Today, if Punjab and KP were shattered, tomorrow it would be Sindh's turn.
Federal Law Minister Mola Bux Chandio said division of Sindh would not be tolerated.
Khursheed Shah said government would bring Hazara province bill and for that consensus would be made, adding that voting on new provinces could not be carried out in National Assembly.
MQM MPs continuously raised slogans during this.
