KARACHI: MQM-Pakistan chief Dr Farooq Sattar on Friday invited all political parties and citizens to join in their protest rally planned for April 23 (tomorrow) against the Sindh government.

All arrangements for the rally, which will be taken out from Liaquatabad to the mausoleum of Quaid-i-Azam, have been completed, said Dr Sattar while addressing a press conference on Friday. At the end of the rally, he said, a protest demonstration would be staged outside the mausoleum. If felt necessary, the party might also stage a sit-in outside CM House, he added.

Dr Sattar said the party would soon release another ‘White Paper’ to expose the alleged corruption by the PPP government. “At the moment, we are playing a one-day match. We will start test-match within the next few days,” he added.
