ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Thursday accepted discussing ‘seat adjustment’ in AJK legislative assembly’s elections with Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and apologised to the party’s Chief Altaf Hussain, DawnNews reported.

While talking to the media at Islamabad police lines, the interior minister accepted negotiating on two of the AJK legislative assembly’s Karachi seats with MQM leader Farooq Sattar.

Malik accepted his negligence on the matter which caused their coalition partners’ ‘political divorce’ with PPP in centre and Sindh province.

On Monday Sattar announced his party’s decision to part ways with the Pakistan People’s Party and sit on opposition benches in the National Assembly, Senate and Sindh Assembly in protest against the postponement of election on two Karachi seats of the Azad Jamu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.

But the most surprising announcement that the MQM leader made was of the resignation of Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan.
