The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) have put the onus of resolving the prevailing political crisis squarely on the government, asking it to “offer some sacrifice”.
“There is a need for some political actions. The government should have a big heart and offer some sacrifice,” MQM’s parliamentary leader in the National Assembly Dr Farooq Sattar said after having rounds of meetings with various political leaders, including Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri, over the past two days.
Meanwhile, the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) continued its efforts to mediate between the government and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).
When contacted, a JI spokesman said party chief Sirajul Haq had met Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen before departing for Lahore to attend the party’s foundation day function.
