The post-election fence mending process started on Monday between two archrivals,
Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N), when a high-powered MQM delegation called on Nawaz Sharif to pledge a new partnership between the estranged partners.
This was the first high-level contact between both parties after the 1992 military operation in Karachi which had left both them at loggerheads for the next two decades.
An MQM delegation comprising Dr Farooq Sattar and Senator Babar Ghauri met with the PML-N chief at the Parliament House and exchanged views on the political situation of the country.
PML-N leaders Senator Ishaq Dar and Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan were also present on the occasion.
The quiet meeting took place at the chambers of Senator Dar, the office of leader of the opposition.
A source said both sides discussed the possibility of cooperation between MQM and PML-N in the Centre as well as in Sindh.
“The MQM delegation conveyed Altaf Hussain’s felicitations to Nawaz Sharif over his party’s emphatic win in the recent elections. They also suggested that since both parties were victim of a negative propaganda by Imran Khan, they should cooperate in the Centre and Sindh,” said a PML-N leader when contacted.
The source said Sharif expressed gratitude to the MQM leadership and said soon formal talks would be held with them in this regard.
When contacted, Dr Farooq Sattar said they met with Sharif to convey felicitations from his party to the PML-N chief.
“This meeting was not planned but happened by chance,” he asserted without mentioning that they had sought a special time from the PML-N chief.

  1. The Security situataion in Karachi is very bad from a long time, while PPP and MQM both were enjoying the power in Sindh and Center . Now PML N should ask them what they did for the last 5 Years. MQM kay Zalimon Khoon Ka Hisab Do

  2. Excellent ! Give an inch and these guys ask for a yard. What a bunch of jokers, no grace or dignity what so ever don't have the courage to sit in opposition. Allah ki Pannah Shaitan murdood say.

  3. Pakistani
    This is how our political parties nourish an anti Pakistan gang operating from London.The only thing on the mind of Nawaz is that selfish interest to stay in power no matter how.He could have spurned overtures of this gang called MQM and could have told them to either be a Pakistani political party or break all contacts with London Don.This Parliament cannot be called a sovereign body till this is done.No country has any element in its legislature that is controlled from abroad. Remove this anamoly NOW or you will become one.

  4. send raw agents Altaf ,Sattar and (namaloom afrrad of Karachi killings aka MQM )back to India because that is where they belong.

  5. MQM ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE IN POWER, NOW THEY HAVE FEAR BECAUSE ONE ONE HAND ALTAF BHAI IS ALMOST DONE TO IMRAN FAROOQS CASE AND MQM IS DIVIDED IN IN MANY PARTS, LONDON ,DUBAI, SOUTH AFRICA AND KARACHI THERE ARE HUGE MISS UNDERSTANDINGS. THERE ARE MANY CONTENDERS OF CHAIRMAN SHIP. I AM WORRIED IF ALTAF HUSSAIN IS PROVEN GUILTY, THEN PTI WIL HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE IN KARACHI BECAUSE PTI LONDON WORKERS IN LONDON AND WORLD WIDE WERE RESPONCEABLE OF THOUSANDS OF E MAILS SEND TO SCOTLAND YARD POINTING ALTAF AS A MURDERER.
