Mustafa Kamal says MQM-P will not leave government.

KARACHI -- Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chief Syed Mustafa Kamal on Friday said the government should not be worried about the resignation of a federal minister belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement - Pakistan (MQM-P) as the party will not leave the ruling coalition.

"The MQM-P will not leave the government," Kamal told reporters in Karachi after appearing before the accountability court. "These people [MQM-P] are all actors, and this drama with the people of Karachi must end," he said.

Commenting on the resignation of MQM-P Convener Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui from the government, Kamal said that it was a drama.

"The corruption of the party is tied to their stint in power. Files against these people have already been prepared and as soon as they leave the government, they will be arrested," Kamal predicted.

However, Kamal dismissed the remarks of the former minister. "This is all an internal fight between the MQM-P. The deputy convener of the part, Amir Khan, in a power tussle with the former minister," he alleged.

Expressing amusement at the fact that another member of the party, Farogh Naseem, was still a minister, Kamal said that the convener of the party did not hold the authority to ask Naseem to resign from the federal ministry.
