Altaf Hussain and Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim,
who met in London on Thursday at MQM's International Secretariat,

government was stable and enjoyed confidence of the people
and there was neither any possibility of a political change
nor of governor's rule.
Mr Hussain, at the meeting, said

and given it their mandate to fulfil their aspirations.
"It is thus our duty to serve the people wholeheartedly
and redress their grievances demonstrably."
The chief minister said that despite
conspiracies being hatched and hurdles being created by
the opposition, the coalition would continue to work to
solve the problems of the people and struggle for the
progress and development of the province.
Before meeting Mr Hussain, the press
release said, the Sindh chief minister discussed with
the MQM Rabita Committee modalities of cooperation between
the MQM and the PML in the context of local bodies' elections.
"There was complete unanimity
that the coalition partners would work as a team to promote
the joint political mandate for the betterment of the
province. The meeting took a number of decisions in this
regard." The press release said that Dr Rahim remained
at the MQM International Secretariat for about seven hours.
