The way has been paved for the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) to re-join the Sindh’s coalition government, as the two major parties of the province held parleys to iron out all the problems.
The delegations of PPP and the MQM sat together at Governor House and held out assurances to each other for future smooth-sailing. PPP leader Senator Rehman A. Malik appearing from the meeting, announced that issues have been settled between the two parties.
“In politics, we have reconciliation, not wedlock,” Malik while jesting lightly with the media persons, he also announced that the two parties will jointly contest the Senate elections.
According to the negotiated formula, seven Senate seats will be bagged by the PPP and the MQM will take the four out of 11 Sindh seats, he remarked adding the power-sharing formula has been worked out for Sindh’s coalition government.
Malik was of the view that, “it is vital for the two parties to work in concert for the betterment of the country and the province”.
In their telephonic chat, Zardari and Hussain both agreed to mend fences by backing up each others’ respective candidates in the Senate elections.
