Former federal minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication and Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has expressed his grievances over the Centre accepting the results of the Sixth Population and Housing Census 2017 report. Siddiqui said that the people of Sindh were highly upset by the government’s decision to accept the purportedly inaccurate results. The MQM-P leader said that the party had gone to the courts before due to their doubts regarding the accuracy of the census, and those doubts have now been confirmed. Previously, MQM-P had submitted a dissenting note rejecting the census results and stating that the party would not accept delimitations under this census. He had said that the PPP supported the PTI in the Centre, while the PTI allowed virtually autonomous rule to the PPP in Sindh.
