KARACHI - Following a meeting between the PPP and MQM leaders in Dubai, conflicting reports have emerged regarding the Muttahida’s joining the Sindh government in near future.
Talking to TheNation, MQM deputy convener Nasir Jamal contradicted media reports and said that his party had made no decision regarding joining the Sindh government adding that the meeting with the PPP was a part of political and democratic process. He said that in past, the MQM leadership met the PPP leaders in the presence of Sindh Governor Ishratul Ebad, but it doesn’t mean his party is going to join the Sindh government.
Earlier on Saturday, senior MQM leaders held a meeting in Dubai to hold consultations and met former president Asif Zardari and former interior minister Rehman Malik. The MQM delegation included Dr Ishratul Ebad, Nadeem Nusrat and Adil Siddiqui.
Prior to the meeting, sources said that the PPP had invited the MQM to join the Sindh government. The sources disclosed that Nadeem Nusrat brought to the fore his party’s reservations and Asif Zardari assured the MQM that all of its grievances would be addressed.
On the occasion, various issues came under discussion including the ongoing targeted operation in Karachi and local bodies' election. The two sides agreed to give a better turn to their ties and decided to form a committee comprising members from both parties.
Sources further said that Ebad will call on Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah to establish the committee comprising eight members from both sides.
The announcement of the committee is expected in a few days while the committee would hold meeting to resolve the issues chiefly the MQM’s joining the Sindh govt. It is pertinent to mention here that like many times in the past, the MQM and PPP leadership met in Dubai again to settle down their political issues.
