KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Sunday robustly rejected the government’s decision of reviving the commissionerate system in Sindh and vowed to challenge it in the parliament, DawnNews reported.

Deputy Convener of the party Dr Farooq Sattar was addressing a press conference after simultaneous meetings of MQM’s Coordination Committee in London and Karachi.

Sattar said the government’s decision to revive the obsolete system was just to strengthen feudals, land lords and the rich politicians.

Sattar said the coordination committee has decided to submit a petition against government’s decision in Sindh High Court on Monday.

“It’s a conspiracy to divide Urdu and Sindhi speakers of the province. MQM will challenge it in the parliament,” said Sattar.
