Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has urged the government not to adopt strict measures to mitigate the political crisis in the country, DawnNews reported.

In a statement on late Thursday night, he advised all political stakeholders to consider reconciliation to end the ongoing political turmoil.

“The government should not be ashamed, even if it takes back a couple of steps for the survival of democracy,” he said.

MQM chief further said the demands listed by the protesters should be brought to discussion.

He pleaded the government to be the first to restart talks with the protesters and reach a consensual conclusion.

Hussain also requested Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek to extend their cooperation in resolving the ongoing political crisis.
