KARACHI-
Thousands of supporters of Altaf Hussain, the leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) ended a four-day protest on Saturday after he was bailed by London police following his arrest on suspicion of money laundering.
Altaf Hussain was arrested at his suburban home in the British capital on Tuesday, prompting street demonstrations in Karachi.
“The 60-year-old man arrested on Tuesday 3 June on suspicion of money laundering has been released on police bail to a date in July pending further enquiries,” a police statement said.
More than 2,000 party workers and supporters danced, embraced one another and distributed sweets in Karachi after hearing the news, a foreign wire agency reporter witnessed.
“I salute those who participated in the sit-in protest against my arrest,” Hussain told supporters by telephone from London.
He said on Saturday that he had complete trust in the British judicial system and vowed to “keep speaking the truth till my last breath”.
Hussain also thanked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after his office issued a brief statement following the arrest offering him “all kinds of legal and moral support”.
