KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Tuesday announced that they would take out a rally on April 23 against “corruption, bad governance and biased attitude of the Sindh government”.

Addressing a press conference at the Bahadurabad office of the party, the party leaders said the rally would start from Liaquatabad No. 10 and would culminate at Mazar-i-Quaid.

“The Sindh government has been ruling the province [through] bad governance for the last eight years while creating sense of deprivation and discrimination among the people of this province,” said MQM-P leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqi.

“The rally would show the sentiments of this city to the rulers who have violated every norm of democracy. They have lost moral authority to stay in power.”
