MQM back in govt to ‘face challenges’

KARACHI: Governor Sindh, Dr Ishratu-Ebad has announced Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s return to the government, Geo News reported.

Dr Ebad made this public during a press conference here Wednesday.

He said it was a difficult political decision but we boldly saw it fit to make a comeback in the greater interest of the country especially to face challenges at hand.

Henceforth, he said, we will take all the provincial and federal offices, which our MNAs/ MPAs refused to hold earlier, and work with the government in pursuit of a prosperous Pakistan.

Dr Ebad said the MQM Quaid Altaf Hussian gave us go-ahead after he understood that our being in the government was vital to the country.

He was all praise for the reconciliatory efforts of President Asif Ali Zardari, Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik, and others.

Speaking on the occasion Chief Minister Sindh, Qaim Ali Shah extolled Altaf Hussain’s political vision saying he has made a patriotic decision.

Pushing the envelope further, he said that all the breaches in the ties have been filled, thorns removed, reservations quashed, and hatchets buried, adding now PPP, and MQM stand as one.

We will now work together to make this coalition work, said Qaim concluding his talk.
