The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Saturday warned it would issue a protest call if the federal government does not ensure the implementation of its 2022 agreement with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on various provincial issues.

The 18-point agreement was signed on March 30, 2022, covering MQM-P’s demands on the municipal government structure, power-sharing formulas, and recruitment policies in Sindh. Addressing a press conference in Karachi, MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar stated that not a single point of the agreement had been implemented.

Sattar claimed that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari had held no meetings on the matter despite repeated reminders. He highlighted that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Akhtar Mengal, and Khalid Hussain Magsi had signed the pact as witnesses.

“The witness of this nikah, this relationship, is Mian Shehbaz Sharif, so he [and] the federal government… would have to get involved,” Sattar said, calling on the prime minister to fulfill his responsibility as the agreement’s “guarantor.”

He described his statement as a “final warning” and an “SOS call” to the federal government to ensure the 18 points are implemented.
