ISLAMABAD:

Fear of arrest has restricted at least five MNA’s of Muttahida Qaumi Movement from coming to Karachi, as they had to attend the coming election of National Assembly.

Abdul Rasheed Godil, MQM’s deputy parliamentary leader in the assembly, told a local media outlet from an unspecified location that he and four other MQM MNAs — parliamentary leader of party in the NA Dr Farooq Sattar, Salman Mujahid Baloch, Mohammad Rehan Hashmi and Kishwar Zahra — had gone underground.

These five MNAs were among 24 party activists and 150 unidentified people against whom a case was registered with the Godap Town police station for listening an allegedly offensive speech by MQM chief Altaf Hussain.
