In an editorial published in the Dawn about the break up of talks between the PPP and the MQM. PPP is largely based in the rural areas of the province and MQM has strongholds in the urban areas. If MQM does not become a part of power sharing formula in the province, it will widen the rural urban divide. The newspaper has asked both the parties to "ensure that the rural urban divide in the province is not deepened, or worse still, exacerbated."
Talks between the two parties failed when MQM said in a press conference that it has decided to sit in the opposition both in the province and at the centre because the PPP was not serious in the talks and the committee formed by the PPP to hold talks with MQM was giving it a cold shoulder.
MQM has also expressed reservation about the appointment of Shoaib Suddle as the Inspector General of Sindh. Shoaib Suddle was the Deputy Inspector General of Sindh when an operation was against and he was accused of carrying out extra judicial killing. Shoaib Suddle was also nominated in the murder of Murtaza Bhutto, the younger brother Benazir Bhutto. It now seems that the officers involved in Murtaza Bhutto murder case are being rewarded.
The newspaper has said that " it is intriguing that the MQM should take a dim view of Dr. Suddle’s appointment as the Sindh police chief when it has actually patronized many police officers who were believed to have been actively involved in the Karachi operation."
I think that the obvious reference is to Choudhry Aslam who was made the head of an elite team to fight gang warfare in the Layari area Karachi.
