KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan's Head Farooqi Sattar is addressing a press conference following party's high-level meeting. 

MQM-P's meeting was chaired by Rabita Committee Deputy Convener Kanwar Naveed Jamil, as Sattar decided to skip it. 

After the meeting, MQM-P members including Kamran Tessori, Nasreen Jalil, Wasim Akhtar had reached Sattar's residence to "pacify him".

"Sattar bhai is upset," Tessori told the media, adding" we have come here to pacify him". 

However, sources suggested that Sattar refused to meet the party leaders. 

In the meeting, MQM-P members decided that the party?s name, symbol and manifesto will remain intact, adding that all members have expressed full confidence in Farooq Sattar?s leadership.

The sentiments were expressed by Rabita Committee Deputy Convener Kanwar Naveed Jamil. Addressing the media, Jamil shared that the developments pertaining to joining hands of PSP and MQM-Pakistan were discussed in-depth.

He said that three important decisions were made during the meeting. First is that MQM?s name, flag, election symbol and manifesto will remain intact, he said.

?MQM would stay the same as it was, political alliances are formed quite often and there is nothing extra ordinary regarding it,? he claimed, adding it has nothing to do with MQM?s integrity.

The members also decided that MQM will contest the elections on the seats they have won earlier. Moreover, the party leadership has shown trust in the leadership of Sattar. 

Earlier, party members had shared that party head Farooq Sattar won't be attending the party's high-level huddle. 

The session is being held a day after MQM-Pakistan and Pak Sarzameen Party announced to regroup under "one name, one election symbol." Interestingly, it is being said that Kanwar Naveed also has his reservations against MQM-Pakistan joining hands with PSP.

An official statement from the party stated that Sattar was not in attendance due to "personal commitments."

According to sources, Sattar decided to skip the session due to internal pressure from some of the party members, who threatened to leave the party if Sattar headed it.

Many other members tried to convince Sattar to not succumb to the pressure as it would create a negative image in the media, said sources, but Sattar still chose to skip it.
