London: It seemed that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is parting its way from the current coalition of the government as the party chief Altaf Hussain has refused all requests from Interior minister Rehman Malik to reconsider its participation in the long march called by Pakistan Awami Tehrik leader Tahirul Qadri.

According to sources, the meeting between Altaf Hussain and Rehman Malik in MQM London Secretariat lasted for minutes and the atmosphere remained tense between the two, who earlier share good relationship.

The MQM leader asked Rehman Malik to not waste his time in London and visit Qadri at his residence in Model Town, Lahore for any decision on the postponement of the long march.

Altaf further asked the interior minister to refrain from stopping the marchers, moving towards Islamabad from Lahore.

    Any political party wedded
    to democracy and coming to power only through the ballot box stands in the
    first category, which means more or less the whole political class,
    opportunists and blackmailers like MQM and PML-Q excepted. The two main
    parties, the PPP and the PML-N, who have the greatest stake in a free, fair,
    transparent election through which a peaceful transition through the people’s
    votes can be accomplished, naturally are gravitating closer to each other to
    prevent what is increasingly looking like a sinister conspiracy to derail the
    system, the deep state topping the list of usual suspects behind this shadowy
    move. Unfortunately, suspicions aside, there is no evidence so far who exactly
    is the author of this extraordinary intervention. Even a politically savvy
    actor like Maulana Fazlur Rehman of the JUI-F has been forced to concede that
    he does not know on whose behest or agenda Qadri is playing.
