Altaf condemns arrest of MQM's ex-MPA

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain on Wednesday condemned the arrest of Nadeem Hidayat Hashmi, a former provincial legislator belonging to the party, DawnNews reported.

In a statement issued from the MQM's London secretariat, Altaf asked the Sindh government to explain the reasons and clauses of the law under which the former Member of Provincial Assembly was taken into custody by law enforcers.



The MQM chief further said that he had always advised his party workers to remain calm and patient and appealed for the same today.

Altaf also claimed that the Sindh government was conducting one-sided action against the MQM office bearers and activists.

An emergency session of the MQM's Rabita (coordination) committee was under way at its London and Karachi headquarters to decide the further course of action to be taken over the arrest of party members.

Nadeem Hashmi was arrested late on Tuesday over suspected involvement in the murders of two policemen in Karachi's North Nazimabad area and was subsequently shifted to the Pirabad police station.

Sindh Assembly's deputy opposition leader belonging to the MQM, Khwaja Izharul Hasan, along with several other party members reached the Pirabad police station to inquire about the details regarding the arrest of their colleague.

Hasan alleged that instead of targeting criminal elements, the operation was being conducted against the MQM and requested Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to take notice of the incident.
