Muttahida Qaumi Movement Member Sindh Assembly Khalid Bin Wilayat has announced to quit his party and join the Pak Sarzameen Party hours after party chief Altaf Hussain speech against Pakistan.
Several MQM MPAs parted their ways with their party to join hands with Kamal.
Altaf Hussain’s speech on Monday drew criticism and condemnation from other political parties and civil society.
