The beleaguered PPP-led government in Pakistan was today reduced to a minority, after the MQM pulled out of the ruling coalition ostensibly to protest its failure to address people's problems.
“The Muttahida Qaumi Movement has announced its decision to sit in the opposition benches in the National Assembly and in the Senate,” the party said in a statement in Karachi. “It has been decided. We will sit on the Opposition benches in the National Assembly and the Senate,” MQM spokesman Wasay Jalil was quoted as saying by Dawn.
