How far can MQM and PPP move ahead? It has not been long and there are already signs of cracks in the coalition between MQM and PPP. MQM first signed an agreement with the Pakistan People’s Party in 1988. The agreement came to be known as Karachi Declaration. This agreement could not survive long.
MQM is a partner in the government in the province in Sindh but it has given ministries which exist on papers only. They are the ministries that are created to adjust more and more people in the cabinet. MQM is demanding a reshuffle in the Sindh cabinet so that it can get a rightful share. PPP chief Asif Zardari has rejected the demands by saying that PPP is the majority party in Sindh.
The fact of the matter is that PPP does not need MQM to form government. If PPP is in majority in the Sindh Assembly, it will never share power with MQM. I think that MQM must also reconsider its policies of trying to remain in power. It should have concentrated its energies on the ongoing development works in Karachi and Hyderabad by supporting the government without actually joining it. Now it is in government but it is complaining that the government has blocked funds for Karachi and Hyderabad. You must not complain when you are a part of the government.
