| LAHORE — Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has reservations about the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s plan to join hands with the four-party coalition to be set up at the centre. Sharif told reporters that he had reservations about the MQM which should be allayed by the relevant quarters. The PML-N had hosted the all parties conference in London last July where all participants had said no party should form a coalition with the MQM in future because of the latter’s alleged role in the killings in Karachi on May 12 last year. Some 50 people had been killed when deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry went to Karachi to address lawyers, who were condemning a reference against him. The London APC had held the MQM responsible for the carnage and vowed not to cooperate with it in forming a government. |
