Meeting fails to melt PPP-MQM deadlock


KARACHI: Meeting of the core committee of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) ended here on Sunday without breaking the deadlock between the two.

However, both the parties agreed to continue holding negotiations. It was decided to carry on talks on the problems of city government.

The meeting resolved that the coalition parties will serve the people for development and stability of the country.

According to sources, the deadlock between PPP and MQM was the result of statements that came from both sides after issuance of notification by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah banning sale and purchase of land. The notification was later challenged by the City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal in a court.

On PPP side Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Ayaz Soomro and Agha Siraj Durrani are participating in the meeting while Dr. Farooq Sattar, Raza Haroon, Nasreen Jalil, Syed Sardar Ahmed, Syed Mustafa Kamal and Dr. Saghir are representing MQM.
