ISLAMABAD: Sindh’s Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said on Friday that his ministry belonged to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and that the party could take it back whenever it thought fit, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives at the airport in Islamabad, he said the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) was a coalition partner of the PPP and that the two parties had cordial relations.

He further said that his visit to London was for personal reasons and that he had booked his ticket a week before flying. He further said that former PPP minister Zulfikar Mirza had booked his ticket only a day before departing for London and that their presence at the airport together was purely coincidental.

He said Mirza was doing everything independently and that the PPP had no relation to his actions.
