Sindh Information and Labour Minister, SaeedGhani, has said that so far no discussion has been held between the Muttahida Quami Movement Pakistan and Pakistan People’s Party to make MQM a coalition partner in the PPP’s Sindh government.
Speaking at a press conference here at People’s Media Cell on Tuesday, the Sindh Information Minister said that up to the present moment the MQM had not asked the PPP to make it a part of the provincial government.
He, however, said the possibility did exist that MQM was a made coalition partner in the People’s Party’s Sindh government after the improvement in the ties between the two parties.
As of now, no discussion had taken place between the MQM and PPP to make the former a part of the Sindh government and offer it slots in the provincial cabinet, said Ghani.
To a question, he said the People’s Party didn’t have the power to appoint the Sindh Governor nor the position of Governor was part of the provincial government.
“Although I’m a staunch opponent of the MQM but I’m of the opinion that the so far issues raised by them (in the talks between the two parties) are all valid problems,” he said.
Ghani said the MQM had raised the issue of a 40 per cent quota in government jobs for the urban population while saying that injustice was being done in this regard due to the issue of bogus domiciles.
He said the MQM had also presented its views regarding the system of municipal governance in the province, as the Sindh government had already constituted.NNI
