MQM urge government to refrain
from a confrontation of institutions.
KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi
Movement (MQM) has called on the government to refrain from a confrontation of
institutions and called for matters to be resolved between institutions through
dialogue.
In a statement issued late Wednesday night after the party’s Coordination
Committee in Karachi and London met, the MQM said that it was in the country’s
interest to resolve all issues. MQM chief Altaf Hussain has approved the points
raised in the meeting, at which attendees discussed the current situation in
the country in detail.
The
statement notes that the MQM has been an ally of the government in difficult
times. It has advised the government to refrain from a clash of institutions
because the country is passing through a trying period and there are dangers
lurking from all sides. At such a time, the MQM has said, the country cannot
withstand a confrontation of any kind. The party has also advised the
government to uphold the law and constitution.
The
party earlier issued a statement that it was suspending all political and
organisational activities until the burial of veteran politician Pir Pagara.

MQM
chief Altaf Hussain called President Asif Ali Zardari, with the two leaders

threats facing Pakistan right now. Hussain told the president that issues
needed to be dealt with patience and understanding.
The
president, according to the statement, agreed with the MQM chief and said that
no step will be taken that will lead to confrontation or increase any
distances.
