Wars are not solution of the problems
Every dispute is finally resolved on negotiation table

Discussions on the meeting between Pakistani and Israeli foreign ministers
 in the important meeting of MQM Central Coordination Committee

Karachi: 2 September, 2005
An important meeting of the Central Coordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) was held yesterday, which was chaired by its convenor Dr. Imran Farooq. Dr. Farooq Sattar, Deputy Convenor, Mr. Anwar Alam, Incharge Coordination Committee Pakistan, Joint Incharge Abdul Haseeb and other members of the Coordination Committee were also present while members of the Coordination Committee from London including Mr. Tariq Jawed, Senior Deputy Covenor also participated over the phone. Apart from other issues, the reported meeting between foreign ministers of Pakistan and Israel was also discussed. The Coordination Committee issued a statement after the meeting, which stated that wars are not solutions of the problems but ultimately negotiations and discussions are the only means to solve the problems. Pakistan and India have fought three wars in last 56 years but finally, both the countries have decided to engage into a dialogue for the solutions of the problems between the two countries. After fighting for so many years, Israelis and Palestinians are also seeking solutions of their disputes through dialogue. As a result, Palestinians and some Arab States have recognised Israel. The Government of United Kingdom also decided to sit on negotiations table to resolve the conflict in Northern Ireland, after engaging in fight for many years. Negotiations are going on in different areas of the world for the peaceful solution of the disputes and that proves that negotiations should not be abandoned but it should continue. The Coordination Committee said that those, who are opposing the negotiations and dialogue, are in fact not interested in the solution of the disputes but they use these dispute and exploit the emotions of common people for their political interests. People of Pakistan are mature and they know very well that these elements have always opposed dialogue within the country as well and have been part and parcel of the forces during their operations against the people in different parts of Pakistan. The Coordination Committee further said that we are with Palestinian people in peaceful struggle for their rights and we feel that if Israelis and Palestinians can engage in dialogue to solve their disputes, why should we oppose the dialogue between Pakistan and Israel? Rather we should help our Palestinian brothers to solve their dispute through dialogue and play a positive role for the settlement of this important dispute of Islamic world. The Coordination Committee said that it is the right of the people of Pakistan to be aware of all the important steps taken on sensitive issues and therefore it is the responsibility of the Government that common men in Pakistan are taken into confidence before any important decision is taken.
