Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s dialogue for a possible political cooperation with Sindhi nationalist parties was discontinued to seek rapprochement with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and evolve a future political understanding with it, following which the PML-N moved in to start dialogue with Sindh’s nationalist leaders, leaders of various nationalist parties told Pakistan Today on Saturday.
Imran Khan wanted to have close cooperation with nationalist parties of Sindh to divide the PPP’s vote bank in the province and he engaged some Sindhi nationalist parties into dialogue during the recent months. The Central Executive Committee of the PTI also placed it in its agenda to be discussed on November 13, after holding meetings with Sindh Tarraqi Passand Party in which both sides had reportedly agreed to work for the sovereignty of the provinces, restoration of true democracy in the country, strict enforcement of rule of law and social justice and elimination of corruption. The dialogue was discontinued on purpose by the PTI to evolve a good relationship with the MQM, said Dr Dodo Mehari, general secretary of the Sindh United Party.
“The dialogue has almost been terminated and the reason for that is the PTI does not want to offend the MQM because it is seeking to cultivate some sort of understanding in future with the party having majority in the urban parts of the province. Secondly, the PTI does not have any clear stance on the issue of provincial autonomy. All nationalist parties want to redefine the nature of relationship between the federation and the federating units which the PTI is reluctant to discuss,” Mehari said, adding that the PML-N was now trying to make an alliance with the nationalist parties and Nawaz Sharif held a number of meeting with Sindhi nationalist leaders during the last few days in this regard. When Pakistan Today tried to contact PTI Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi and president of its Sindh Chapter, Naeemul Haq a number of times for their version, they did not attend the phone calls.
When PTI Information Secretary Shafqat Mehmood was contacted, he said he did not know when the dialogue ha started and why had been terminated.
