ISLAMABAD: PML-N former Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that population census will lead to increase seats in Karachi which can benefit MQM Pakistan. Talking to private TV channel Rana Sanaullah said that it is national fortune that everyone agreed on census. Everyone knew that constituencies have to be demarcated after census. Now if anyone thinks any other slogan is more appropriate then put it.

He said that MQM was concerned about census and perhaps they are benefitting from them. Seats will increase in Karachi which is likely to harm PPP.

He said that some people are benefiting from constituencies in Khyber PakhtunKhwa. Those who are benefiting want delimitation of constituencies and those who are suffering, want them not yet. Constitution and law require that delimitation of constituencies should be done now after approval of census.

Regarding agreement with IMF, he said that nation knows that we made great efforts. This agreement was delayed. We also negotiated with IMF and made demand and requested.

We kept demanding and requesting IMF to soften terms. Agreement had been done and they used to say that we are not interested in what name of Prime Minister was then and what is now.

If we did not ratify terms of agreement country would have defaulted. We have saved country from huge danger and there is hardship. We have asked caretaker government to allow to pay electricity bill in installments.

He said, "I do not know about Chairman PTI going out. If Hafiz Hamdullah has any information then he can talk about it."
