I will remain friends with Zulfiqar Mirza, says Sharjeel Memon

Sindh Information Minister, Sharjeel Memon, revealed that he will remain friends with the former Sindh Home minister Zulfiqar Mirza. Talking to the media in Karachi, he asserted that friendship and career are two different things and should not be mixed.

“I still support Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and accept their decisions with my eyes closed, but I’m also friends with Mirza at the same time and will remain so for as long as I live”, Memon said.

“There can be people holding two different opinions in the same party, similarly, whatever Mirza is doing is in his personal activity and the party is not involved in it,” he added.

When asked about his resignation, Memon revealed that he resigned because his presence in London brought shame to the PPP, even though he had no malicious intentions.

“I have apologised and also voluntarily resigned for bringing shame to the party”, he added.

Memon also reiterated that he had gone to London on a personal trip and it had no relation to Mirza’s activity.

He also stated that he never wanted to create misunderstandings between the PPP and its coalition partners and stressed that cordial relations between him and Zulfikar Mirza.

Earlier, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had questioned Memon’s presence with Mirza in London, where the latter had gone to submit evidence to Scotland Yard against MQM chief Altaf Hussain.
