Amendment bill focussing on autonomy introduced by MQM.

ISLAMABAD : According to news latest breaking stories, MQM (The Muttahida Qaumi Movement) on Tuesday introduced a private constitution amendment bill focussed on provincial autonomy with the consent of the PPP-led coalition government, which has delayed its own plans to bring a comprehensive amendment package at the cost of its credibility.MQM also celebrated its induction in the federal cabinet. Afetr the sworn in of MQM ministers, the amendment bill came only a day after two. The move formally gives Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s 10-month-old government a simple majority in the 342-seat lower house.this majority had lost after the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) withdrew from the coalition in August.This bill is as similar as a private bill in the previous National Assembly when it was a partner in the ruling coalition of then-president Pervez Musharraf’s loyalists, but was persuaded by coalition leader Pakistan Muslim League-Q to defer the move with the promise of a possible accommodation in an official bill that never came.But the new bill, sponsored by nine of the MQM’s 25 members of the house, received apparently a warmer reception this time with a loud shout of “no objection” from Law and Justice Minister Farooq H. Naek to let the draft go to a house standing committee amid desk-thumping cheers from MQM benches.
