KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan invited independent candidates, who won National Assembly seats, to join party, calling for ‘collective efforts’ to challenge feudal system together.

Talking to journalists, MQM-P Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui called upon independent candidates to decide their conscience.

“We do not have briefcase but brief statement”, he said, pointing out that change can only will not come through slogans but legislation.

Thanking people of Karachi and Hyderabad for supporting MQM-P, Khalid Maqbool said despite obstacles, mandate of both cities was handed over to citizens. “Our victory is tantamount to success of people and country,” he added.

For his part, MQM-P leader Mustafa Kamal asked Jamat-e-Islami to end its ‘false mandate’ in Karachi, calling party an ‘occupied force’.
