Ex Governor said that the main purpose of election 2018 was to select PTI to rule.
Zubair remarked that the two parties will continue to stay in the touch in the coming few weeks, adding that MQM-Pakistan also has reservations regarding the way elections were conducted.
Regarding the meeting, he shared that the representatives of the two parties discussed the conditions in Sindh especially Karachi alongside the political situation which has emerged following the General Election 2018.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, MQM-P’s Faisal Sabzwari said that failing of RTS system was not any political party’s fault. He said that we have reservations with election 2018, that’s why we raised the voice before anyone else.
Replying to a question, Faisal Sabzwari further said that we would meet Jehangir Tareen led PTI delegation and keep all the arguments in Rabitta Committee to finalize.
Moreover, MQM-Pakistan leader Faisal Sabzwari alleged that the Election Commission of Pakistan was involved in the rigging the elections for the first time. “The failure of the result transmission system shows that ECP was unsuccessful in its task.”
The returning officers must recount votes as per the law, he claimed.
“People whose own party wouldn’t vote for them won. How is this possible,” Sabzwari asked.
With regards to Form 45, he questioned where was it filled? “Who knows where it was filled as the polling agents weren’t present at the time votes were being counted.”
Form 45 was supposed to be submitted on the day of the election rather than being uploaded on the website after a week, he said.
When asked about the Karachi operation, Zubair clarified that it was held to bring peace to the city. “Karachi operation was not against MQM,” he said.
Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader and former Sindh governor Mohammad Zubair arrived at the party’s Bahadurabad office to meet MQM-P leaders to get support from them.
In a bid to seal the support of MQM-P’s six MNAs-elect and 16 MPAs-elect in Sindh, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen is also expected to reach Karachi today and meet MQM-P leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
Sources said the PTI leader, who will reach Karachi on a day’s visit tonight, will seek MQM-P’s support in supporting the formation of government in the centre, where the PTI gained the maximum number of seats but fell short of a clear majority.
Tareen is also expected to ask the MQM-P for its support in bringing the Sindh Assembly opposition leader from his party.
Moreover, several candidates who contested and won the election as independents have been holding meetings with the PTI leadership at Imran’s Bani Gala residence as the party also attempts to form a government in Punjab province.
