KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) announced that it will fully support Pakistan Awami Tehrik's call for a long march to Islamabad on January 14, DawnNews reported on Sunday.

After convening a joint session of MQM's London and Karachi Coordination Committees, Dr Farooq Sattar at a press conference said that MQM's manifesto is the same as the struggle that Dr Tahirul Qadri is waging.

"To put an end to this feudal and outdated system, the MQM will also participate in the long march," said Dr Sattar.

He further added that the MQM does not in any way want to delay the upcoming elections.
