Pakistan's Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), an urban-Sindh-based party that represents Karachi and other cities in the province, has warned it will launch a protest movement unless the federal government ensures implementation of an 18-point agreement signed with the PPP (Pakistan Peoples Party) on 30 March 2022. Party leader Farooq Sattar said not a single point of the agreement — which covered local government reform, job recruitment policy, and power-sharing in Sindh — has been fulfilled, and called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who signed the deal as a witness, to act as guarantor and intervene. The PPP-led Sindh provincial government rejected the demands, with senior minister Sharjeel Inam Memon dismissing MQM-P's ultimatum as "political blackmailing" and insisting that power in Sindh must be won through votes, not federal pressure.
