While talking to ARY News, Qureshi said that they took a goodwill message to MQM Pakistan. “We have told them to be together as they are our ally. The meeting with the MQM-P delegation was held in a good environment and it was a positive and fruitful meeting.”

The foreign minister said that the MQM-P delegation has clearly told them that they have not made any commitment with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), adding that MQM-P told them that PPP is giving false statements.

Earlier in the day, Federal Minister for Information Technology Aminul Haque said that MQM is still part of the federal government and any decision will be taken after consultation with our constituents and activists of the party.
