ISLAMABAD: As the MQM and PPP conflict intensifies, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday urged political parties to resolve differences through discussions and debates, Radio Pakistan reported.
While talking to an MQM delegation led by Farooq Sattar in Islamabad, the premier said the constitution provides space for debate to all democratic forces in the country. “Difference of opinion is the beauty of democracy and should be aimed at country's development,” he advised.
Nawaz went on to add that Pakistan has witnessed an exemplary display of parliamentary democracy and rule of law in which all political parties expressed solidarity with the system for upholding the supremacy of democracy and strengthening of democratic institutions in the country.
The prime minister called upon democratically elected forces to work together for the development and progress of Sindh.
Speaking about developmental projects the premier had initiated for Karachi, PM Nawaz said directions have been issued to all concerned authorities for timely completion.
Other MQM members who met PM Nawaz include Abdul Rashid Godil, Khalid Maqbool and Nasreen Jalil.

Why is the PM (though fake, as came to power via vote rigging) advising the opposition parties? Unless of course the government and the opposition are one and the same?
Which "examplery parliamntery democracy and rule of law " is he talking about? I hope he remmembers he is PM of Pakistan.
@Hira: Your comments screams of your ignorance. PTI is eating into MQM's electorate. How the two parties can form an alliance, get rid of the current government, and then form a coalition government afterwards. Do you care to highlight?
Time for Nawaz Sharif to pay back, PPP supported NS during the recent sit-ins and now NS is doing his part........GO NAWAZ GO !!!
MQM must join hands with PTI and PAT to throw away this govt and get rid of PPP in Sind.........there is no point having dialogue with both these parties. NS has no solution to any of the issues country is facing except to have "MAZAKRAAT"
Democratic forces should work togther to ensure 'Status Quo' stays in place. It is bound to break soon Mr. PM.
GoNawazGoWhy MQM/PPP rift hit so hard on PMLn
Three failed parties seeking attention.
yeah yeah, we now how much you 'care' about our city!
there is no work done in Sindh people also are dying from hunger in Thar as well but see he is suggesting for dialogue to save his government.
No accountability at all just mutual interest.
Meaning nothing happened.
