ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari, who is also co-chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), has assured the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) that all its grievances about the situation in Sindh will be removed and that the ruling party will not support ‘criminal elements’.
The president held out the assurance to a four-member MQM delegation, headed by the party’s parliamentary leader in the National Assembly, Dr Farooq Sattar, after discussing for almost three hours the situation in Karachi, with particular reference to a recent statement of Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza about a controversial peace committee that had created tension between the coalition partners.
Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar told Dawn that during the meeting, President Zardari also talked to MQM chief Altaf Hussain in London by phone and discussed the points raised by the delegation, which included Senator Babar Ghouri, Dr Sagheer Ahmed and Raza Haroon.
