A delegation from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad to discuss the FY2026-27 budget and development projects for Sindh. According to Dawn, Sharif assured the delegation that sufficient allocations had been made for Karachi and Hyderabad, and that funds for the Greater Karachi Bulk Water Supply Scheme (K-IV) would be released. He also stated that the government is taking comprehensive measures to complete the K-IV project by December 2026.
According to Dunya News, the MQM-P delegation raised concerns regarding alleged excessive billing by K-Electric, which is leading to public dissatisfaction in Karachi.

The MQM-P leadership had been invited by Sharif to visit Islamabad on Tuesday.
The delegation also demanded the release of the interim results from the seventh population census. Sharif assured them that the issue of a caretaker government overseeing the census had been addressed.
