MQM allotted opposition benches at Sindh Assembly

Sindh lawmakers hailing from Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) have been allotted opposition benches at Sindh Assembly on Thursday. Fatigued by Muttahidas insistence over acceptance of resignations despite Sindh Governor Dr. Ishratul Ebad Khans return to his office, Sindh Assembly Speaker assigned seats to MQM members. Talking to media at Sindh Assembly, MQMs Parliamentary Leader Sardar Ahmed said Coordination Committee of the party would decided about the Leader of the Opposition, stressing his party would not play a friendly opposition; it would act as 'an actual opposition, instead. Speaking on the occasion, MQM leader Raza Haroon noted his party would not support any erroneous step taken by the government. Sardar Ahmed said four names were under consideration for the slot of Leader of the Opposition at the assembly; however, the final decision would rest with Rabita Committee and an announcement would be made in this regard within next 24 hours.
