‘Democracy present during past 22 years’: MQM-P’s Khalid Maqbool

As Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s (MQM-P) Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui began speaking in the National Assembly, shouting from the opposition continued.

As uproar from the PTI-backed MNAs continued, Siddiqui had to pause multiple times during his speech.

Addressing PTI’s Ali Muhammad, the MQM-P leader said, “We are talking of reconciliation with you and you are getting upset at that too.”

While noting that there had been 10 prime ministers during the previous 22 years, Siddiqui asserted that the “continuation of democracy had been present” during these years.

Earlier, when PTI’s Asad Qaiser was speaking, the NA’s YouTube livestream was cut off and restarted when Siddiqui began his speech.
