THE APC CONFERENCE HAS
BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO UNAVOIDABLE REASONS – MQM COORDINATION COMMITTEE
16
December 2004
..The MQM had decided to hold an All Party
Conference to promote better understanding, harmony and pleasant political
environment in the country despite all the political differences among the
parties. The MQM announced the APC
to draw-up an ethical framework with mutual consensus on 20 December 2004, in
Karachi. The MQM Coordination
Committee formed a team of the elected members of the Senate, National and
Provincial Assemblies to distribute the invitations for the Conference.
The team informed the Coordination Committee that most of the leaders
have indicated that due to previous engagements they will not be able to attend
the Conference. They however
indicated that had they been given at least one month’s notice they could have
scheduled it in their programme and would have definitely attended.
The MQM Coordination Committee in their emergency meeting unanimously decided to
postpone the Conference to a convenient date in future.
The future date will be announced in the next few weeks.
The Coordination Committee has regretted those leaders who had accepted
their invitation and apologised for the inconvenience caused to them.
Furthermore, the Members of Coordination Committee assured the leaders that
every care will be taken and ample notice would be given next time round to make
their participation possible.
