Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) Senior Deputy Convener Mustafa Kamal has said that his party has proposed three constitutional amendments for the devolution of powers from the Chief Minister\u2019s House to the people in the streets in order to save the country.<\/p>\n

Addressing the \u2018Meet the Editors\u2019 programme of the Council of Newspaper Editors (CPNE) on the theme of \u2018General Elections and Future Strategy\u2019, Kamal said that the amendments proposed by the MQM-P were vital to save the country. He said that the party was sending these proposals to the leaders of all political parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are angry with the slogan of province should support our constitutional amendments,\u201d he said. \u201cDespite the 18th Amendment, powers and financial resources have not been transferred to the grassroots level.\u201d He criticised the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), saying that the former ruling party in the provinces was banking on the boycott from London.<\/p>\n

However, he asserted that the MQM-P would win all 22 National Assembly seats from Karachi in the upcoming general elections.
\u201cThe MQM is fully active for the preparation of the elections,\u201d Kamal said. The MQM-P leader added that currently, there were three major political parties in the country \u2013 the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the PPP.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, MQM-P Coordination Committee member and former federal minister Aminul Haq said that elections would be held on Feb 8. He assured that the MQM-P fully believed in the freedom of expression and the rights of journalists. Whenever any attempt was made to usurp the rights of journalists or restrict the freedom of expression, Haq added, the MQM-P, along with the CPNE and other journalist organisations, resisted and thwarted such moves at every forum, including parliament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
