They agreed that Pakistan and Sindh currently required tranquillity, brotherhood, and harmony within all segments of society for progress, and prosperity.
According to a statement released by the MQM early on Saturday, MQM chief Altaf Hussain and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari spoke in detail via telephone.
They agreed that Pakistan and Sindh currently required tranquillity, brotherhood, and harmony within all segments of society for progress, and prosperity.
Zardari and Hussain discussed issues between the PPP and MQM and the mistakes made in the past. They resolved not to repeat those mistakes in future.
The PPP co-chairman acknowledged that Urdu-speakers have as much a right on Sindh as Sindhi speakers do and assured the MQM that their genuine grievances will be addressed.
He further assured the MQM supremo if the two parties once again agreed to work together in Sindh, then the 40:60 ratio will be implemented in all spheres of governance in essence and spirit.
They also discussed the upcoming Senate elections. In this regard, it was decided that leaders of both parties will sit down and discuss it in further detail.

PTI Welcomes EX-MQM voters.. The reason MQM looses votes in 2013 elections.
Now that the Baldia incident is being reported, both Altaf Hussain and Asif Zardari have become friends again. Both will try to keep the proceedings delayed with vociferous statements and actions. The MQM will declare a Hartal, and shout at the TV cameras at full blast. They will declare that MQM is the innocent party being maligned. What walks, talks swims like a duck is a dcuk.
Until a third political force is evident in Sindh this ppp-mqm topi drama will continue.
Ya Allah Khair Mr. Zardari started talking with Mr.Alfaf. When PPP need helps, they approach MQM, after the job done, throw away like dirty tissue paper. MQM should be aware of it, Karachites are tired of PPP trauma. MGA
This alliance will give the PTI an clear majority in Sindh.........if the next election is free and fair.
This meeting can be described beautifully in a few words, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (Randall Terry, Brainyquotes.com)
Ya Allah Khair!!
Altafa need to start the process. A new province for Muhajjirs. Or he can leave MQM. This time resignation will be accepted. The Karachiites are sick of this yoyo in London. Time to retire.
actually, nothing is governing in sindh since long ago but a mafia plus corrupt elite
Please both of you leave pakistan alone.No one likes you except the cronies you feed from all your corruption kitties. Please let Karachi live!
As always, status quo parties are united!
