The central and the Sindh government decided to file a case against Altaf Hussain in the UK for stirring violence in Karachi.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government reiterated any kind of violence or statement against Pakistan, its existence and armed forces would not be endured.
Islamabad will exchange evidence of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief inciting violence in Pakistan with the UK police in the next few days, an official confirmed on Friday.
Evidence from Hussain’s speech asking MQM workers on August 22 to attack media houses will also be sent to Scotland Yard authorities in Britain.

Officials said they have received strong evidence and documents against the MQM chief that fulfil the legal requirements of the UK government for taking action against Hussain.
According to reports, the PML-N government might not seek MQM chief’s extradition because he is a British citizen and does not hold a Pakistani passport.
Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali had announced to file a reference formally against Hussain to the British authorities only a day after the MQM chief sent an angry mob to attack media houses in Karachi.
Nisar had said that the centre would not allow a single person to hostage Karachi and its people.
Scotland Yard said it was investigating whether the Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader incited violence in Karachi when he addressed party workers and supporters from his north-London base last Monday.

Violence erupted in Karachi after MQM’s Altaf Hussain, who has been living in Edgware for over 20 years, addressed supporters in the city via a telephone call.
The police are examining Hussain’s speech following “numerous calls from the public” to see if his remarks broke any English laws, a Scotland Yard representative said.
