KARACHI: The PPP and MQM-P on Thursday agreed to work together for adopting local government law that would benefit the residents of urban and rural parts of the province.
The parties made the announcement in a joint press conference at the MQM-P’s head office in Bahadurabad.
While talking to journalists, the leaders of the two parties said that both the PPP and MQM-P had to work together for the sake of Sindh and the rest of the country and said that the parties had agreed to continue with their talks to further amend the provincial local government law.
They said the two parties had held talks in a cordial and pleasant manner as the meeting discussed in detail issues related to local government law and the prevailing water crisis in Sindh, particularly in Karachi.
The MQM-P leaders said on the occasion that the coordination committee of the party would make the final decision whether to join the Sindh government after the accord signed by them with the PPP before the change of government was implemented while amendments were also incorporated into the local government law.
MQM-P leader, Kanwar Naveed Jameel, said the meeting between the two parties had been held as part of the ongoing negotiations after MQM-P and PPP had signed the accord. He said that such meetings had been held in the past also and would continue to be held in the future as well.
