ISLAMABAD.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) refused to take back its letter to the British High Commission on Wednesday, urging to take action against Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain.
PTI leaders stand firm on the belief that no one stands above the law. PTI officials have urged the British government to take action against Altaf Hussain for “using British territory to incite people to violence in Pakistan”.
In explicit language, Altaf Hussain abused PTI female activists from his home in London, as a retaliation to PTI demanding action against MQM’s involvement in the Baldia factory fire. For a very long time, there has been a war of words between the two parties, PTI and MQM.
“We request you to realise the urgency of your government moving against Altaf Hussain by removing the protection of citizenship under which he is hiding and evading multiple criminal charges in Pakistan including murder,” states a letter by PTI Information Secretary Shireen Mazari addressed to Phillip Barton, the British High Commissioner in Pakistan.
Imran on Monday had requested members of the MQM to disassociate themselves from their party leader, while repeatedly referring to him as a ‘psychopath’ and a ‘coward’, and accused Altaf Hussain for being behind the murders of former PTI Sindh women’s wing president of Zahra Shahid and journalist Wali Babar Khan.
PTI stand firm on their stance against MQM Chief Altaf Hussain, and his degrading remarks.
