In Pakistan, the ruling coalition's majority in Parliament found

One of the main allies of the Government of Pakistan, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), announced Friday, January 7 return within the ruling coalition, who returns as the majority in Parliament and is more likely to be reversed by the opposition. "The MQM said that he will sit with the government in the interests of the country and democracy," said an officer, Raza Haroon, at a press conference with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

Gilani had made that day in Karachi, the stronghold of the MQM to convince its leaders to return to the coalition they had left last Sunday, putting the government in a minority in Parliament. The prime minister announced Thursday the cancellation of the increase in oil prices recently decided by its Government, thereby accessing one of the major conditions of the MQM in the coalition to return.
