LAHORE- In reaction to Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s decision to dissociate itself from the ruling coalition led by Pakistan People’s Party, senior PML-N leader Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Saturday said the PPP and MQM were faking a fight and the latest MQM move is nothing but a bid to hoodwink the people ofPakistan.

“MQM and PPP are partners in crime,” Khawaja Asif alleged this while talking to a private TV channel, following the MQM’s announcement to part ways with the governemnt earlier. He said there were no differences between the two parties and the MQM would not be a genuine opposition. “The move was pre-planned and liable to be labelled as an insult to the collective wisdom of people of Sindh andPakistan,” Khawaja Asif said. He further maintained that Muttahida will now erect a fake opposition in Sindh Assembly to pave way for establishment of an interim set-up.
