“The MQM wants that the long-standing demands of Mr Khan and Dr Qadri should be deliberated upon and conflict and confrontation should be avoided at all costs”
“Committee consisting of three to four people should be formed for opening dialogues with Mr Khan and Dr Qadri and efforts should be made to find a way out of the present situation.”
Mr Hussain said that the MQM is ready to offer unconditional support in this regard.
Mr Hussain said that the operation Zarb-e-Azb” was underway in North Waziristan against terrorists and the army was heavily engaged with the militants and heavy firing was being done in the Sialkot Sector by the Indian Army.
