Addressing his party workers from London, Altaf Hussain warned government to mend its ways or else MQM would be forced to move from government to the opposition benches and to part ways with the Sindh coalition as well.

He said that no plan to destabilize government, the party's lawmakers would sit in the treasury benches.

Altaf Hussain criticized PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and called him a by-product of dictatorship.

MQM on Tuesday announced it was withdrawing its two ministers from the federal cabinet.

The decision has been taken because the government did not pay any heed to our complaints about the remarks of Sindh home minister Zulfiqar Mirza maligning the MQM.

MQM's senior leader Faisal Sabzwari told the media that the party's two ministers would resign from their posts in first phase because the government had not treated his party's views and advice with seriousness.
