Altaf Hussain and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) are being targeted through an organised conspiracy, Deputy Convener of MQM ‘s Rabita Committe Maqbool Siddique said on Thursday.
The Rabita Committee’s reaction came after the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) aired a documentary on MQM chief Altaf Hussain, his alleged use of threatening language in public speeches, a purported letter which offers services to the UK intelligence agencies and seizure of large sums of money from the MQM office in Edgware and Altaf’s house.
Siddique said that ‘foreign media’ had shown irresponsible behaviour by releasing a dubious documentary on the MQM, and that the Rabita Committee still had full confidence in Hussain’s leadership.
“The BBC showed clips of some parts of Altaf Hussain’s speeches out of context. We condemn this.”
He said that the false propaganda had only managed to increase their confidence in the MQM chief as their leader, and that their ties with the party’s founder could not be disrupted through such means.
In a press conference, leaders of the MQM Rabita Committee said that they held the right for peaceful protest.
