Taking exception to Sheikh Salahuddin's remarks about PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, former premier Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has told MQM-P members they should not act like "rented soldiers".

"Yesterday, you were sitting with us and speaking for us. Today, you are part of the present government. You are not rented soldiers," Ashraf said in the National Assembly.

He challenged MQM-P's MNA to come with him to Sindh in order to review the province's healthcare system.
