Time has come for action against MQM chief: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan on Tuesday demanded from the federal government that the matter pertaining to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief’s provocative actions should be taken up with the British government.

Imran Khan was talking to media representatives outside Bani Gala and said that Pakistani government should take strict action on the matter.

He said that time has come for taking action against the party chief.

“One British national stirs up violence time and again in Pakistan,” Imran Khan said.

On Monday, MQM workers had tried to wreak havoc in Karachi following an inflammatory speech by the MQM chief that incited party workers to attack on media houses.

At least one person died and eight others were injured during the violent attacks in which around 2,000 party workers participated.

 Earlier today, Pakistan shared initial evidence relating to the MQM with the British Foreign office along with the Scotland Yard.

According to sources, Pakistan will provide a full transcript of the two speeches made on the 21st and 22nd (August). Only some parts of the speech were shared which relate to MQM Chief Altaf Hussain’s making controversial comments.
