KARACHI: The senior party leadership of the Muttahida Quami Movement Pakistan, on Sunday, ended the basic membership of Syed Ali Raza Abidi. 

According to details, the party leadership has also directed Ali Raza Abidi to resign from the post of Member of National Assembly also. MQM Pakistan said that the step was taken as Abidi did not follow policies taken August 23 onwards.

On August 23, MQM Pakistan had distanced itself from controversial anti-Pakistan statements made by the party leadership in London, with Deputy Convener Farooq Sattar taking control of the party leadership.

Sattar had said that future party decisions would be made by the MQM Rabita Committee in Pakistan.

On Oct 23, MQM Pakistan leadership expelled 11 members from the party fold, advising workers to not keep any contact with them. MQM Pakistan Rabita Committee revoked membership of 11 affiliates for violating party discipline and expelled them from the party.
