KARACHI: A Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) delegation arrived in Karachi on Friday. PML-Q leader Mushahid Hussain said the delegation had come to review the situation in Karachi, saying that the government has failed to maintain peace in the city.

He said the federal and provincial ministers were fighting with each other and that the government’s writ only works against its opponents.

He said the fact that the interior and home ministers say they were not aware of the Karachi operation shows that the government is in a very sorry state. “The only thing they are good at is corruption and in using force against their opponents,” he said.

Earlier on Thursday, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) decided to form a sub-committee to address all outstanding issues between the two parties.

The meeting between the two parties was held at the Chief Minister’s House, and the leaders resolved to maintain law and order in Karachi, expressing concern over the recent violent incidents in Karachi.

Sindh Governor Ishratul Ibad, Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, MQM leader Farooq Sattar, Babar Ghauri and other leaders attended the meeting.
