In a major development, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan on Tuesday decided to expel four eminent leaders of party's London chapter. Aaj News reported that a decision to expel four London-based eminent members of the MQM was made at a meeting of MQM Pakistan Rabta Committee. Dr Farooq Sattar presided over the meeting at his party's makeshift office.
The meeting decided that since Nadeem Nusrat, Wasey Jalil, Mustafa Azizabadi and Qasim Ali Raza had not been following the MQM Pakistan's policies they should be expelled and their party membership should be cancelled. The meeting also repudiated the statement of Nadeem Nusrat in which he said there is no minus-Altaf MQM was MQM nothing without its founder Altaf Hussain. The Tuesday meeting also approved amendments to the constitution of MQM.
