ISLAMABAD:-
The fresh of wave of killing in Karachi has forced President Asif Ali Zardari to convene an important meeting of the Sindh coalition government to discuss the deteriorating law and order today (Friday).
According to official sources, Sindh chief minister along with five cabinet colleagues will attend the meeting in which Prime Minister Gilani and Interior Minister Rehman Malik are also likely to participate. The meeting will be held at Aiwan-e-Sadr to review the situation and accordingly take necessary security measures to tackle the fresh wave of violence in the port city.
In a related development, MQM Convener Dr Farooq Sattar met with the US Ambassador Cameron Munter here Thursday and discussed the law and order situation in Karachi. “I do not know what they discussed, but Farooq Sattar met with Ambassador Munter on request”, US Embassy spokesperson confirmed to TheNation.
Sources further said that these developments might delay plans of the MQM to rejoin the PPP-led ruling coalition. According to the plans, MQM was to rejoin the ruling coalition after PPP high command accepted its demand to restore LG system in Karachi and Hyderabad.
Both the political players have agreed to make necessary amendments in the local government laws to implement the agreement, which envisages scrapping of the revived commissioner system in the province and delimitation of constituencies in Karachi and Hydereabad.
With the proposed amendments, Sindh government would implement the new law throughout the province. This move has also created reaction within the provincial government as one of the important coalition partners ANP rejected the PPP-MQM deal. The nationalist political forces of Sindh also rejected
