PPP-MQM talks progressing, says Ishratul Ibad

ISLAMABAD: Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ibad on Saturday said consultations were going on to take political and administrative steps in order to improve Karachi’s security situation, DawnNews reported.
He further said that “why should we allow the conditions to deteriorate to a point that we have to call in the army?”
Dr Ibad was speaking to media representatives in Islamabad after a meeting with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Dr Babar Awan.
Moreover, Dr Ibad said that the result of meeting with the senior PPP leader would soon be evident.
Problems between political parties have a negative effect on the country and certain elements use the situation to their advantage, he said, adding that talks between the PPP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) were ongoing.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Awan said his meeting with Dr Ibad took place in a favourable atmosphere.
Dr Awan further said that President Asif Ali Zardari and MQM chief Altaf Hussain had played a significant role to strengthen democracy in Pakistan
