UK Home Dept says hate speech not OK, moves against Altaf

Despite the fact that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has been fairly chastised over his controversial speeches in the last few days, his troubles are only just beginning as British authorities on Thursday held a meeting to decide how to handle the situation on their hands. If British media reports prove accurate, Altaf may be prosecuted by the UK government.

A joint meeting of British Home Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and London Metropolitan Police was held under Home Secretary Theresa May to review the allegations leveled against Altaf.

According to media reports, records of speeches delivered by Altaf Hussain in the last few days were presented in the meeting.

It was decided during the meeting that the file related to allegations against Altaf would be sent to Crown Prosecution Services (CPS) for initiation of proceedings against him.

Furthermore, London Metropolitan Police will decide to take action three days after allegations are reviewed by CPS.

Decision will also be taken to take police interview from Altaf Hussain.

The top officers agreed on not allowing British territory to be used against any other country.

Legal experts of Crown Prosecution Services have started reviewing the evidence against Altaf Hussain.
