KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Khawaja Izharul Hassan clarified on Monday his party will never topple the PTI government by pulling out of the ruling coalition.
Speaking during ARY News morning programme Bakhabar Savera, he said the party is not disillusioned as it has just quit the federal cabinet, not the coalition.
The MQM-P leader said they were given one ministry in the cabinet, which they returned.

He said the MQM-P is no more part of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s cabinet as it has given up the ministry.
Khawaja Izharul Hassan said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wanted to send the government packing.
“We have said it before that we don’t want to pave the way for toppling the PTI government and nor intend to do so in future,” he maintained.
