British High Commissioner takes notice of Altaf Hussain’s statements
British High Commissioner Adam Thomson took notice of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain’s statements of “separating Karachi” on Wednesday, reported Express News.
Thousands of complaints were sent to the London metropolitan police after Altaf addressed his supporters in Karachi where he allegedly threatened PTI supporters who were protesting against rigging.
Altaf also said that Karachi should be separated from Pakistan if the mandate given to the MQM by the people is not acceptable.
The statements created an uproar across the country, after which the party clarified saying Altaf’s statements were rhetorical, and misinterpreted by the media.
Thomson said that the London police are looking into the complaints and may take notice of it soon.
On Tuesday, reports emerged of Altaf being unwell. Doctors advised him to pause all political activity for a few days and take bed rest.
