Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has expressed confidence in winning 40 seats in the Sindh Assembly.

Speaking to reporters in Karachi, Siddiqui said, “God-willing, we will win around 40 provincial seats. There is no contest on 16 seats in Karachi while there is one on two seats.”

In an apparent reference to the Jammat-i-Islami, he said that political parties should be “serving religion” but instead they “use religion to serve themselves”. “They term their symbol the scales of justice,” he said.
