No covert deal with
Tahir-ul-Qadri: Member of Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s Coordination Committee and Provincial Minister Dr Sagheer Ahmed has said that his party is not involved in any secret deal with Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri. Talking to journalists on Sukkur Airport, Dr Sagheer Ahmed said Muttahida Qaumi Movement had always welcomed those political parties who believe in the democratic process. MQM has the principled stance of staying at peace with everybody, he noted, adding the statement that came from Taliban leaves a question mark. Dr Ahmed said the recent press conference by chief election commissioner had made their suspicions regarding delimitation even clearer and his party still stands by its earlier stance.
