Pakistanis in UK to protest against Altaf Hussain’s hate speech

Pakistanis living in the UK will be protesting today against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain’s anti-Pakistan speech that led to violence in Karachi the other day. The overseas nationals will also be lodging complaints with the Metropolitan Police for action against the exiled party leader. The protests will be held on a call given by World Congress of Overseas Pakistanis and Mustafa Kamal’s Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) against Altaf Hussain’s anti-Pakistan speech. According to reports, the Pakistanis will be protesting at 10 Downing Street at 4PM local time, after having lodged complaints against the MQM leader for inciting violence against institutions in Karachi. The complaints came in the form of telephone calls and emails. The complaints have already been forwarded to Special Operation Squad 15 for investigations. On Monday, the MQM activists clashed with the police and ransacked two private television stations in Karachi, leaving at least one man dead and seven others injured. The violence erupted soon after exiled leader of the MQM, Altaf Hussain, gave a telephone address to his supporters in which he castigated the media for not giving due coverage of his workers. Meanwhile, Rangers arrested MQM’s top leader in Karachi, including Farooq Sattar, before a press conference at Karachi Press Club and raided MQM headquarters Nine Zero and other party buildings in Karachi and other cities of Sindh late last night, and sealed the party offices.
