Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) leader and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) dissident Mustafa Kamal on Thursday asked the government to ban the MQM in light of allegations of collaboration with Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
“If these allegations against such leaders and politicians associating with foreign agencies are even 5 per cent correct… if there is proof, the government should ban these parties,” the PSP leader said, in a reference to allegations that the party has been receiving funds from RAW.
“If the government believes we are wrong in saying so, we won’t speak about this matter. But the government is saying the same things,” he claimed.
Kamal claimed Britain’s former deputy head of Mission in Karachi Shaharyar Khan Niazi had earlier said there was a formal written agreement between MQM and RAW “against Pakistan” that detailed “what to do and what not to do”.
“They should either ban the party or make it clear that we are liars and file cases against us and ban us,” he said.
