MQM
spokesman Faisal Sabzwari made an announcement after a decision was made by the
party’s coordination committee in Karachi and London.
MQM leader
Altaf Hussain had sought the opinion of the people whether the MQM would quit
the PPP-led coalition. It appears that the PPP's days are
numbered.
President
Asif Ali Zardari is weighing various options to  tide over the crisis after the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam with
seven members in the National Assembly quit the government recently. MQM has 25
members in the National Assembly.
PPP has only the support of the Awami National Party in the
lower house.
Options
available for Zardari are either dissolution of the National Assembly or an
alliance with PML (Q).
The MQM has
not left the coalition in Sindh government to press its demands for an end to
corruption.
