LONDON: Britain’s Scotland Yard on Tuesday said that it has received full speech of an individual linked with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), the founder of whom delivered an anti-Pakistan speech on August 22, sparking outrage in Pakistan.

Scotland Yard spokesman said, "We have received 22nd August full speech of an individual linked with the MQM political party.”

He said that the speech is currently getting translated and after the process, it would be decided whether it should be investigated or not to determine if any laws have been broken.

“Pakistan has been in touch with us. There is a process involved and we are doing that,” he said.

The spokesman said that he cannot confirm whether any reference has been received from Pakistan or not.
