ISLAMABAD: The PPP and MQM-P on Wednesday signed the “Charter of Rights for the people of Sindh” to develop a “long-term partnership” in various domains. 

The agreement was signed after the MQM-P — which was one of the major allies of the PTI government — announced that it had formally decided to side with the joint Opposition ahead of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The two parties have signed the agreement to develop a “long-term partnership to ensure harmony amongst people; to promote social justice, and to secure the economic well-being of the people of Sindh, especially of those who are left behind for various reasons”.

According to the text of the signed document, the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the local government shall be implemented in letter and spirit within one month with the mutual agreement of PPP and MQM-P.https://www.scribd.com/embeds/567281507/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-KR0XeLKpNPee98MH27eK
