Pakistan Peoples Party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari claimed on Saturday that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had failed to keep its promises.
“Altaf Hussain’s negative politics will harm MQM itself,” Zardari said.
In a statement released by the party on Saturday evening, former president Zardari said that the PPP during its time in the federal government and in the Sindh government had always tried to work with every party.
He added that in their talks, the PPP had only kept two conditions, one that the MQM will not talk about dividing Sindh, and the other that they should cooperate in bringing peace to Karachi.
Instead, he said that the MQM had always betrayed the PPP's trust and reneged on its promises.

The PPP co-chairman said that non-serious statements did suit Altaf.
Advising the MQM chief to refrain from issuing unwarranted statements, and conducting negative politics, Zardari invited the estranged party to take back their resignations and return to the national and provincial fold to work for betterment of the country.
MQM holds PPP responsible for ills in Sindh
Responding to Asif Ali Zardari's statement, MQM's Rabita Committee said that the PPP was responsible for all of the ills in the province since 2008.
Whether it was about development in urban areas or offering employment, Asif Zardari never fulfilled any of his promises, even the written ones, the Rabita Committee said in a statement.
The party said that Zardari had realised that Sindhis were opting for the MQM over the corrupt politicians of the PPP and like the urban areas, people of the rural Sindh had also rejected the PPP.
The MQM said that like Punjab, PPP is seeing a dark future in Sindh and therefore Zardari was playing the 'Sindhi card.'
The Rabita Committee accused Zardari of trying to garner sympathy of Sindhis by falsely accusing the MQM of wanting to divide Sindh.
