During the meeting, it was agreed to give one more ministry to MQM-P in the federation. It was also decided in the meeting that Centre will provide a financial package to Mayors of Karachi and Hyderabad.

“Karachi cannot be ignored as it plays an important role in the development of the country,” added PM.

PM Khan also formed a committee and has given a task to Sindh governor and law minister which would give further recommendations to PM in two days.
