Sattar threatened of legal action if he continues to use the platform for political mileageKARACHI: The Rabita (coordination) Committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has issued a notice to former party leader Dr Farooq Sattar for unauthorised use of the party’s name, flag and electoral symbol. Dr Sattar has been at odds with the party’s senior leaders since February, 2018. The tensions began over allocation of Senate tickets, but Dr Sattar was able to reunite with Bahadurabad faction’s office a few weeks before the general elections. Farooq Sattar resigns from MQM-P’s Rabita CommitteeNonetheless, after the poor performance of MQM-Pakistan in the elections, Dr Sattar developed increasing differences with the party and created his own 22-member committee to save his party from the “crisis”. Sattar had claimed that MQM-P leaders broke party rules while allocating tickets for the general elections.
