Bilawal urges MQM to rethink alliance with PTI, work to solve Karachi's problems.

ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday advised MQM-Pakistan to rethink its alliance with the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), which is "making the lives of Karachi's residents difficult".

Bilawal Bhutto was responding to a question regarding his offer of provincial ministries to MQM-P on the condition that the party quits its alliance with the PTI in the Centre. While he did not extend the offer again, he said: "There are a lot of ideological issues between PPP and MQM-P, but as far as Karachi's residents are concerned, I believe that we should solve [their] issues together."

The PPP Chairman said: "It is in the hands of MQM, that says it is standing with the people of Karachi, wants to solve their problems and admits that the federal government has not done anything and [instead] has created problems, to leave the federal government, leave the ministries and solve the problems of the people."

Bilawal Bhutto lamented that the PTI had so far failed to fulfill its promises regarding local bodies or police reforms and was "committing the economic murder of citizens".

Bilawal Bhutto also wants the government to immediately evacuate...
