The United Kingdom police, a delegation of which is currently in Islamabad, has asked for the record of an FIR filed against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain and the video recording of his inflammatory speech.
The UK police arrived in Islamabad on Saturday to record statements of eyewitnesses in inflammatory speech case against MQM chief Altaf Hussain. The witnesses include six police officials.
After interviewing case witnesses on Monday (today), the UK police will determine whether MQM founder’s speech of August 22, 2018, comes in the domain of inflammatory and hate speech.
On the other hand, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has written a letter to Sindh IGP asking him to ensure the availability of the witnesses.
It may be mentioned here that the UK police has come to Pakistan on the request of the interior ministry.
On August 22, 2018, MQM founder Altaf Hussain had delivered an ‘anti-Pakistan’ speech during his telephonic address to the party workers at the Karachi Press Club. Driven by the founder’s ‘hate speech’, scores of party workers had stormed media houses in Karachi and created chaos. Later, several cases were lodged against party founder Altaf Hussain at several police stations across country.
