No MQM ministers at Centre to appease PML-N

ISLAMABAD: In order to appease the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has again decided, at least for the time being, not to take ministers from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), The News learnt here on Sunday.

A source in the PPP said that there was no chance of MQM legislators making their way to the federal cabinet, at least for now, despite having a share in the government in Sindh. "This policy is primarily aimed at appeasing the PPP's major partner, the PML-N, as MQM's inclusion may further deepen misunderstandings or difference of opinion on the issue of reinstatement of judges," he said while replying to a question.

He maintained that unless urgency cropped up, or something dramatic happened, there was no possibility of the MQM becoming a part of the ruling coalition in the Centre. PML-N spokesman Muhammad Siddiqul Farooq told this correspondent that they were opposed to the MQM's share in the central government as the party had serious reservations about its past role on certain matters.

"We have already conveyed it to the PPP and we are confident that they would respect our viewpoint in this connection," he maintained. It is pertinent that the MQM has been included in the provincial set-up but it continues to back President Pervez Musharraf and has also made it clear to the PPP that the chances of its supporting an impeachment motion against President Musharraf were almost nil.

Whereas, unlike the PPP, the PML-N is fiercely against President Musharraf's role in the new dispensation. It has repeatedly called for his impeachment. Similarly, notwithstanding pressure from the PPP, the MQM has staunchly defended its Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad in Sindh, the source pointed out. He was flown in from London after the 2002 general election to assume the coveted post. When approached on telephone, a central leader of the MQM and Member of Parliament, Syed Haider Abbas Rizvi, confirmed that the PPP had not yet contacted his party to discuss modalities about joining the federal government.

Asked if they would be invited to join the federal cabinet at a later stage, he was not sure and said that as things stood today, the MQM might not be invited to join the central government. "But in politics you are never sure what exactly may happen the very next moment. So, let's sit back and wait," he remarked in a lighter vein. The MQM and the Balochistan National Party-Awami are the only two parties that are part of the present ruling coalition at the provincial level and had their share in the previous government as well.

ONCE, again ppp had shown that, ppp is just intersted in to remain in the power in the center and the fear of PUNJAB govt. opposition of the actions of the fedral govt. made ppp decide this crazy idea.

allready, fedral govt is being non functional , the people of pakistan are wondering that why they voted for these political parties which cant do any thing for them, or at least havent have the ability to form an actionable fedral govt.
keeping MQM, out of FEDRAL GOVT.. is another misdeed, waiting PML N minsters to join again the fedral cabint. it is rather good that ppp should start thinking different ways to solve problums.... of the peoples of the pakistan because, the time is running out and soon it will be over,either MQM would be given the minstries in the fedral cabint or not...... the question is that.. can this govt is capable of doing good or can this govt solve the problums of the common people of pakistan????


by the way, MY DEAR PKPATROTIC SIR, the above mentioned post is truly unrelated 1 in the light of the growing dangerous situation around our boder, we need some thing on those issues..... not these unimportant issues.:disagree::tdown:
