The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Coordination Committee Thursday vehemently condemned a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report highlighting latest developments in Dr Imran Farooq murder case as an upshot of malicious intent.
“The report is slanderous. It has been mischievously manipulated to soil MQM’s image,” said Kahaliq Maqbool Siddiqui, a senior MQM leader addressing a press conference at the MQM headquarters Nine Zero.
Siddiqui, who was flanked by other MQM Coordination Committee members, also accused BBC of “rigging” the report to distort the facts so that it could be given an anti-MQM slant.
MQM leader, Dr Farooq Sattar, also seconded his fellow leader’s statement.
“The report is strictly aimed at tarnishing our leader, Altaf Hussain’s image,” said Sattar. He said MQM was faced with national as well as international conspiracies.
Senator Farogh Nasim, who represented MQM on Wednesday’s Newsnight programme, said that all the points he had raised with the host Owen Bennett in defence of MQM, were insolently edited out. “The BBC gagged my rebuttals regarding money-laundering allegations. They aired only what suited them to make it a hate-report. We will drag the corporation in the court of law for defamation,” said Nasim.
Why dont you have this press conference in London. It has nothing to do withh Pakistan. Why are these MQM leader wasting our time. We really dont care what happens in London
Was murder of Wali Babar part of MQM's love for Media Freedom?
Why not May 12 repeat in London, to teach some lessons from this champion of middle class
You cannot run from justice, it has to come some day in this world. This is was history tells us.
