PPP delegation to hold talks with MQM today

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) delegation, headed by former Sindh chief minister, Qaim Ali Shah, will call at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) headquarters, Nine-Zero Azizabad, on Thursday.
The decision was taken after a recent telephone conversation between MQM founder, Altaf Hussain, and PPP co-chairperson, Asif Ali Zardari.
MQM Rabita Committee will welcome the PPP delegation, and the agenda of the meeting will be to promote peace, democracy and harmony in Sindh.
Officials said Shah and Nafees Siddiqi had already contacted MQM Rabita Committee Deputy Convener, Dr Farooq Sattar, and had formally conveyed the purpose of the meeting to him. The PPP team had also asked the MQM to initiate the talks for the future setup of the Sindh government.
Nafees Siddiqi from the PPP said that Zardari was willing to bring MQM on board because this was the wish of the party late chairperson, Benazir Bhutto. Siddiqi said that Zardari had already conveyed this to Altaf Hussain during a telephone conversation last week.
