- Memon threatens to move British court against Altaf as latter demands explanation of Bilawal’s ‘na-maloom afraad’ remark
Responding to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain’s demand for an enquiry into Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chariman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s “threatening statement”, Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon has said that PPP would not give any clarification to the MQM.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Memon claimed that Bilawal did not give a threatening statement but “only uttered the truth”.
“If Altaf Hussain wants to go to court against PPP chairman than he can fulfil his wish,” he said, adding that PPP would move British court with evidences against MQM chief.
Earlier, Hussain demanded an explanation from Bilalwal over the latter’s remarks on October 6, calling for “reigning in na-maloom afraad (unidentified persons)”.
The MQM chief has also asked the chiefs of law enforcement agencies (LEAs), former president Asif Ali Zardari, former interior minister Rehman Malik, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah and Sindh Governor Ishratul Ibad Khan to answer his query within 15 days after holding an enquiry into Bilawal’s statements.
In his statement, Hussain asked on what basis did Bilawal level such allegations and issued a threat against him. Hussain further said that if the PPP chairman, co-chairman and the party’s Central Executive Committee failed to address his query, he would be left with no option but to take legal action against Bilawal for using threatening language against him.
Addressing a gathering of family members of people killed in the 2007 Karsaz blast, the PPP chairman, on the first day of Eidul Azha, had called upon the MQM chief to ask his ‘na-maloom afrad’ to take caution. Bilawal had warned that if any PPP workers were hurt, he would, like the London Metropolitan Police, make the MQM chief’s life miserable.
