Altaf rebuts charges being faced by him in London

LONDON: After getting extension in bail till July, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain said on Tuesday that he rejects the charges being faced by him in London.

“Some people are excited but some must be upset over my release,” Altaf Hussain said while addressing a press conference held at MQM London Secretariat.

He said he cannot talk more on the case against him, as investigation is still underway in this regard. However, he added that he completely trusts the ongoing investigation being carried out by Scotland Yard.

He hoped that the legal probe would soon be completed by the London police.

Altaf Hussain said the Almighty answered the prayers of the workers and, as a result of the same, he is back among his companions.

“Worry not my companions. I would return to you again, if they took me away from you in future as well,” he promised.

He said Pakistan should not involve itself in Yemen conflict. “Pakistani should only play the role of a mediator,” he added.

The MQM Chief said people of all the ethnicities should have equal rights in Pakistan.
