Govt accepts MQM-P’s major census demand

ISLAMABAD: The federal government has accepted the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s (MQM-P) demand, seeking an extension in deadline for registration of families in the digital census through “self-enumeration”.
The demand was accepted after a delegation of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) met Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday.
According to details, the government accepted the party’s demand to extend deadline for self-enumeration by at least 10 days. The meeting also decided that every single flat will be marked instead of main entrance of multi-storey buildings.
PM Shehbaz – while accepted the demands – directed authorities concerned to issue a formal order in this regard.

During the meeting, the MQM-P delegation expressed serious concern over rising inflation in the country. They also discussed country’s overall political situation and concerns regarding the implementation of agreements.

Party’s convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui also expressed reservations over the non-fulfilment of agreement signed with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). –Agencies
