KARACHI, June 3: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement has rejected a proposal put forward by PML president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain for the formation of a government of national consensus , comprising Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians and the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, in place of the present coalition government in Sindh, to tide over the current law and order situation.

In a statement issued from the MQM headquarters at Nine Zero, its coordination committee maintained that no decision about Sindh made without taking the MQM into confidence would be acceptable.

"The people of Sindh will reject such a decision as no-one sitting outside the province has the right to take decisions without their consent," said the statement.

The coordination committee was of the view that a deep-rooted conspiracy had been hatched to destroy law and order of the province, particularly of Karachi, while undemocratic demands were being made to launch a big operation in the city, hand over Sindh to the military by imposing emergency and governor's rule in the province.

The coordination committee pointed out that the MQM was the second largest party of the province and any decision about the province, taken without its consent, would not be acceptable. "Nobody has the right to treat Sindh like a colony and impose decisions on the people of Sindh from outside," the coordination committee said while urging the people not to be mislead by such statements.
