MQM should bring its worries to negotiation table: Rehman Malik

KARACHI: Federal Minister Rehman Malik has said that MQM always stood shoulder to shoulder with PPP in every hard time and if they have any apprehension, it may be resolved on negotiation table.

He was talking to the journalists at Karachi here on Monday. He said that the government would not allow anybody to destroy the peace of Karachi and those elements which are involved in subversive activities would be dealt with iron hands no matter from which political party they belong.
He said that the telephones of Nine-Zero were disconnected due to some technical fault. PTCL is a private organization and the government had nothing to do with the issue. If MQM wants to investigate the matter, they can send their engineer.
“Government would never use any jarring tactics . MQM and PPP remained good friends in the past and unity among both parties is imperative for restoration of peace in Karachi. Our doors are still open for them. Muttahida should resolve all the issue through dialogue process”, Interior minister added.
He said that heart of every Pakistani is weeping over the circumstances of Qasba Colony and Katti Pahari , where even mosques were also demolished. He said that 500 personnel of FC have been directed to take stern action against the miscreants. The people and media should also cooperate with the law enforcing agencies in curbing troublemakers
Responding a question about threat given by Zulfiqar Mirza to a journalist , Rehman Malik said that every one should respect each other . However some elements of media are also adding fuel to fire. Online
