About MQM, Chaudhry Pervaiz said that MQM was PML-Q ally and it would remain the same and sit on the opposition benches. He said President Pervez Musharraf has been elected for the term of five years and if any conspiracies were cooked at Aiwan-e-Sadr, the two ministers from PPP can't sit on left and right side of the president during his visit to China.
