MQM-P senior leader Dr Farooq Sattar has said that there have been no discussions with the PPP regarding the upcoming presidential elections.

While talking to media, Dr Sattar said that if the PPP is interested in talks, “we are not against them and our doors are open”.

He emphasised that if they do reach out, MQM-P will present their demands and seek answers.

He stressed the need to seek answers regarding the apparent misuse of billions of rupees received in the budget.

“We will seek answers about their behaviour towards MQM-P and the people of Sindh, particularly in terms of the allocation and utilisation of budgetary funds,” he said.

“We want to know how, as president, Zardari would play his role in creating harmony among different factions within the provinces.”
