They urged the PTI to ensure that the sanctity of the MQM's Martyrs monument is respected and also the fact be kept under consideration that the MQM had been constantly winning from the constitutency for past three decades and that its headquarters is also located in the NA-246 constituency, that makes the site all the more sensitive.
The two parties, they said must also keep into deep consideration that difference of was opinion is the basic norm democracy under which tolerance should prevail rather than misusing it as a tool for provoking the rivals, which might also prove an opportunity for those bent upon creating unrest.
