@Mujtaba: King Maker or Opportunist!
It shows that the goverment is in a state of panic and is trying its best to get support from those who demanded PM resignation just 48 hours ago. MQM was awating an offer to join federal cabnit and would readily accept the lucarative ministry of Shipping.
Its a win win situation for both parties but both will say that they are doing this in larger NATIONAL interest.
@Mujtaba: this is a ground fact,
@Muhammad Rizwan Ali: Exactly true,
Political maturity, magnanimity and malleability in action from no other political entity but MQM Trust MQM to act responsibly as usual and to lean and lend weight to where national interest lies. MQM at its super best, rejoicing at the thought that once declared a political pariah is contacted by both sides. Triumph of haq parasti
Now they know Importance of MQM.........
Like it or not, all roads to Islamabad pass through 90, soon sense will prevail
Looks like MQM is the kingmaker in the politics of Pakistan despite its somewhat miniature status.
