According to Daily The News, the British government has been urged to “prosecute and indict” the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder and leader Altaf Hussain for allegedly inciting violence from British soil against “peaceful democratic protestors” in Karachi and for “threatening” media outlets.
The news report says that hundreds of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) activists organised a large demonstration outside Prime Minister David Cameron’s residence at 10 Downing Street on Sunday and called on the British government to take notice of the “national outrage” in Pakistan over alleged vote-rigging as well as Altaf Hussain’s alleged threats to the PTI workers in Karachi. The MQM leader has denied making these threats and has said that his words have been taken out of context by his political opponents.
By all accounts, this was the largest demonstration held by Pakistanis in London outside 10 Downing Street in over a decade. The organisers said that more than 1,500 people had taken part in the protest from London and outside but a police official on the spot put the figure at around 1,000. They came from all over the UK and chanted slogans against Altaf Hussain. Read detailed news in Daily The News
