A local court in the city on Wednesday extended bail of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader and nominated mayor Waseem Akhtar in two cases till January 18 while non-bailable arrest warrants for Farooq Sattar, Haidar Abbas Rizvi, Waseem Akhtar and others were issued under the Load Speaker Act.
The MQM leaders along with their lawyers arrived at the Sindh High Court (SHC) to seek extension in protective bail. It was said in the petition that the cases against them were forged and registered only for political revenge. It is pertinent to mention here that the nominated mayor of Karachi, Waseem Akhtar, was named in 27 cases for assisting MQM Chief Altaf Hussain and Dr Asim Hussain. However, three cases were filed against Haidar Abbas Rizvi.
