MQM invites PTI to all parties conference
Members of the MQM have been meeting representatives of political parties in an effort to hold a roundtable conference on national security, featuring stakeholders – including military leadership, religious and political leaders and intellectuals.
A delegation of the MQM Rabita Committee led by Deputy convener Senator Farooq Sattar met PTI President Javed Hashmi and Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Lahore today.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Sattar said that Paksitan was facing a number of issues and that it was important that all political parties set their differences aside and work together to come up with solutions for these issues.
A PTI spokesperson has said that a decision regarding the party attending the conference has not been taken as yet.
Members of the MQM had also met President Asif Ali Zardari in Karachi, the Jamaat-e-Islami in Lahore and the Awami National Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid in Islamabad in July.

@JoinHands!: very disapponting response. This is not how politics should be in our country. It is important hear what is being said, but not who is saying it. If it is in national interest it deserves hearing and delibration.
@Mr Ali: I respect any and all political parties, and those who can get elected as they have the right to preatch their idias, said that, people judge you on your words and by your action, and if any one preach and his action does not match? He mst be reminded. And even shut up call must be given.
The true face of PTI is coming out. Just wait people you'll see yourselves
Those PTI stooges speaking negatively against the MQM's invitation should remember that it is a blessing of Allah Almighty, that a party like the MQM is approaching them for anything. I can not even believe that PTI supporters have the audacity to compare themselves with the MQM, as we all know the MQM is above and beyond anything the PTI can ever become, either with the help of the ISI, or all alone. When a superior being offers you an olive branch, one should not delay, as that same branch may one day fall on your head.
@Iram: "Two emerging champs..."
There seems to be a typo error in the post.
Bhai to Bhai, bhai ka doost bhi bhai :)
Oops I almost forgot the third "most eligible bachelor" of Pakistan! What a manage a trois this would be!!
Pti minus Imran khan is a progressive and liberal party and should joinn hands with MQM.
Declining to attend the Round Table Conference of MQM, PTI has thwarted the conspiracy of delaying elections for another year.
Every leader's mantra: Let's unite "under my leadership"!
i think it would not be a bad thing if political parties sit together to resolve issues which are prevailing in the country. we must know that each parties is represented of people of Pakistan. if we believe in democracy, then we must accept every political party in Pakistan whether their leaders are corrupt or not. they are elected people. As public opinion vary from region to region.
@Mr Ali: Words of wisdom sir.
I respect both parties, they must come forth together in the best interest of our country.
Ain't gonna happen.. MQM keeping up on Zardari's mission. PTI should never be a part of this conspiracy!!
@Mohd Butt: M Butt honestly speaking we should talk to everybody in the country. This is the only way to keep harmony among people of different ideologies. Otherwise people who feel distracted from mainstream engage in violence and that is something then almost impossible to stop because its become guerrilla war at then end of day. You must know many examples. That does't mean that we should not establish writ of the law in the country.
PTI and IK is sustaining good position by opposing on policies of MQM like violence. PTI is not against people of MQM or even party because they are Pakistanis. Its our responsibly to let them know that what we think MQM is doing wrong. There are many bad people among each community and there are many bad things done by every party but that doesn't mean you start spreading hatred.
@TightChuddhi: I don't know what you think a sixer is, but your analogy doesn't work whether you're being serious or sarcastic.
pti has officially turned down this invitation. just check their website. so typical of anti-pti trolls who jump to conclusions straight away.
@zeeshan: And what do you think of Lahore Jalsa...?? was it also rented by PMLN???
Get a life boy... then criticize PTI...
PTI should never never never attend this meet. It will harm them as PML-N will never spare them if they participate in the meeting. It will be a foolish move if PTI goes to attend conference. It will cost them.
Another sixer by Altaf bhai! Geo MQM
IK is not ashamed of his current stand, why he sould be, his politics is baseless, shameless, oriented less, go with MQM now, your x target of blame, Any way PTI is LLC, zakat invester for profit?
Why should PTI join this meeting? For the last five years MQM has been the part of the governmnet in increasing bad governaance, corruption, terrorism, and extremism,so, they should clean it up themselves,ALLIES AND THE RULERS.....
Invitation has been rejected.
Siddiqi73 from pkpolitics?? Nooners are missing you!!
Bhai is there with the crown . IK is far away from the crown . Hehehehehe,,...,.
It is use less practice just to spent the time on a table for intertinment. Political can never thing good for nation or country. Saad Shibli Asc
noora kushti opponents now partners?
thanks...
i think thats the same imran khan who was taking altaf hussain to the court of law a couple of years ago..what happened now..???he is very sharp in criticism on PML-N and nawaz sharif and looks like he has made a deal with the MQM..and people of pakistan should think a thousand times while casting their votes because this PTI is the new version of the corrupt PML-Q due to whom pakistan is at this stage..
IK should better commit suicide than joining hands with such people.
Good move, but Altaf should come back. Now is the time for a change. Let him be a part of it and lead his party to victory.
Appreciate PTI not to attend MQM round table because they are sitting in the Govt. and it is complete non-sense that you don't do what you can do and on the other hand doing those things which are symbolic.
But there is no point now to ask MQM to come out of Govt. as they already has enjoyed the govt. for almost complete term and they are equally responsibly for all the mess made by current rulers.
Hehehehehehe......has a verdict been handed out by the Crown Court with respect to the case filed by IK against Altaf Bhai ;)
PTI should attend the meeting but not trust them. They are an opportunistic pack and one should ask their leader to return. No risk, no fun.
As per my knowledge from other news sources, PTI has already declined the invitation saying unless MQM quits assemblies and asks PPP for re-election, it won't be taken seriously.
should be a straightforward "NO!"
best friends now?
Two emerging champs should join hands for the construction of the country.
