MQM-P Deputy Convener Farooq Sattar has said that the party would likely decide on joining the federal cabinet tomorrow, state-run Associated Press of Pakistan reports.

Talking to a private news channel, he said that it would be politically favourable for the party to sit on opposition benches. At the same time, he said that the MQM-P was ready to take some difficult decisions in the larger national interest.

To a question, Sattar said that the MQM-P’s basic demand was a constitutional amendment to strengthen the local government system, not cabinet portfolios.

The MQM-P would fully support the PML-N in forming the government, he added.
