Summary The talks would now further in the federal capital, says JUI-F chief
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Farooq Sattar on Tuesday has said that attack on Rashid Godil seems to be a conspiracy which is aimed at sabotaging talks between the government and the party.
He expressed these views while addressing a joint press conference with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman in Karachi after talks were disrupted due to attack on Godil.
He said that Rehman reached Nine-Zero as a mediator between government and MQM. He said that JUI-F chief was talking to MQM chief Altaf Hussain via satellite link when they received sad news of terror attack on Rashid Godil.
Sattar said that the attack is a coward act. All parliamentary parties including opposition are represented by Rehman as a mediator, he added. Sattar said that the resignations issue could be resolved however, the situation took a sudden turn as they learnt about the news.
The MQM leader hoped that Sindh Police and security agencies would shoulder their responsibilities and nab the culprits behind the attack.
Sattar said that MQM chief has endorsed continuation of operation in Karachi and it should target criminals indiscriminately.
While addressing the news conference, Rehman condemned the attack on Godil. He said that he agrees with Sattar over likelihood of this incident as act to sabotage talks. Everyone is praying for Godil, he added. The JUI-F chief thanked MQM members for a warm welcome at Nine-Zero.
While answering a question, he said that the talks would now further in the federal capital.
