Pakistan's party MQM quits government coalition

Pakistan's Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) said on Monday it would quit the country's governing coalition.
Senior party official Farooq Sattar said the party withdrew because of differences with the government over elections in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. Alhough the move was a blow to the government, it was not expected to collapse.  Reuters
