After reaching a deal with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on new demarcations of constituencies in Karachi, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Saturday postponed its Sunday’s sit-in, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Sources told 24News that PPP, on the other hand, too, had confirmed its contacts with the MQM-P, while the latter’s delegation would visit the Chief Minister House soon.

As per the agreement reached between the two parties, Karachi’s constituencies will be delineated afresh after the next national census.

Speaking on the occasion, MQM-P Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that the party had taken the decision to hold a sit-in at Karachi’s Fawara Chowk out of compulsion.

Speaking on the occasion, Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori said that it was only through mutual consultations that the port city’s issues could be resolved.

He said if Karachi were to develop, people of the city would have to forge unity in their ranks.

The governor said he was meeting all stakeholders.
