MQMP divided over Siddiqui as minister, Khushbakht for governor

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQMP) finds itself entangled in severe internal discord, grappling with two significant dilemmas. One issue revolves around the appointment of the governor of Sindh, while the other centers on the inclusion of party leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui as a federal minister. Influential circles have reportedly endorsed Khushbakht Shujaat for the governor’s post, prompting strong objections from certain factions within the MQMP. These dissenting voices argue that their opinions were overlooked, highlighting Khushbakht Shujaat’s prolonged inactivity and lack of significant contributions to the party. Tensions within the MQMP have escalated further with Siddiqui assuming office as a federal minister. Despite prior agreements prohibiting party leaders from holding government positions, Siddiqui’s appointment has reignited internal conflicts, leaving senior party members to navigate through the ensuing crisis.
