On Monday evening Coordination Committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) extended its ultimatum for the recovery of its missing workers by two more weeks,Express News reported.

After the assurances from the Sindh government to address their grievances, MQM decided to extend its ultimatum for another two weeks.

According to sources Governor Sindh Ishratul Ibad Khan and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Rahman Malik played important role in reconciling relations between MQM and PPP.

Last Friday, MQM had given 72 hours ultimatum after bodies of four MQM workers were found from Memon Goth in Karachi. The party had demanded that Prime Minister Nawaz should form a judicial commission to investigate the extra-judicial killings of the MQM workers and a monitoring committee should also be formed to oversee the ongoing Karachi operation.

They had also requested the Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif and Corp Commander Karachi Sajjad Ghani to form an inquiry commission to look into the matter of missing MQM workers.

It has been just two weeks since MQM joined the Sindh government.

On Monday, MQM members in the National Assembly staged a walkout to protest the extrajudicial killing of their workers.
