Qaim ensures continuity of coalition government
Staff Reporter
Karachi—Sindh Chief Minister, Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Thursday vowed to
ensure that present coalition partnership in Sindh Government
continues so that years old problems, agonies and difficulties of
people of Sindh were redressed.
He stated this while making a statement with regard to ongoing tug
of war between MQM and ANP which both sides also voiced in the
Assembly Thursday.
Referring to MQM-ANP issues, the Chief Minister said our effort is
to ensure that the coalition remains intact and this is in the
interest of people of Sindh.
He said that this had also been the point of view of MQM Chief Altaf
Hussain and ANP President Asfandyar Wali. He said PPP leadership had
been of the opinion that if any disturbance or chaos occurs in
Karachi, it is going to affect whole of Pakistan. Therefore, he
pointed out, after the elections were held in the country, an effort
was made and which was also the programme of Shaheed Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto, to develop a consensus to the effect that no matter
whichever party gains majority, its government will be allowed to
run with due respect given to the opposition.
In this regard, he recalled, talks were held with MQM and ANP and
efforts made to form a coalition government, although PPP was in
majority position in the Province and at the centre.
