Since the Rangers’ raid on MQM’s headquarters earlier this month the party had been looking for a detailed meeting with the prime minister. However, for some unexplained reasons, the prime minister remained unavailable to the MQM leadership.

The MQM had sought an audience with the prime minister during his daylong trip to Karachi on Wednesday, but their efforts remained unfulfilled.

The MQM leaders during a media talk had expressed their disappointment over the prime minister’s refusal to see them.
