KARACHI - Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has said that all the political forces should respect each other’s ideology.
Now is the time to resolve all the political issues through dialogues and mutual understanding, he said.
He was talking to All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) leader Barrister Ahmed Raza Kasuri via telephone on Friday. Both the leaders briefly discussed the current prevailing situation of the country.
Altaf said, “I wish that both sides should not use power in the current situation and settle their issues with maturity and wisdom.”  Kasuri praised the role of the MQM chief for resolving the PAT long march issue by contacting the Punjab government and the authorities concerned as there was intense possibility of confrontation.
Meanwhile, Senator Rehman Malik also called the MQM chief and appreciated his mediatory efforts to get permission for PAT march through mutual understanding from the PML-N government. 
Earlier, Altaf in a statement urged the PML-N and PTI workers to be peaceful and avoid attacking each other. Every party should respect other party’s ideology and political rights. “The opponents should avoid bloodshed during their protest.”
