LONDON:
British High Commissioner (HC), Adam Thomson has said that UK police have
received countless complaints against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief
Altaf Hussain for his remarks about detaching Karachi from Pakistan, Geo News
reported.
In a
statement, the British HC said Pakistan should take serious notice of Altaf
Hussain’s statement.
Thomson
further said that strict laws are followed in Britain against hate speech and
spreading violence, adding the UK police is currently investigating Altaf’s speech.
He
added that if anyone is found guilty, the accused can face imprisonment.
However,
the MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has already denied demanding separation of Karachi
from Pakistan.
He,
however, said that there was no extradition treaty signed between Pakistan and
Britain but added that taking action against Altaf Hussain was not out of the
question.
Adam
Thomson termed the recent elections in Pakistan as historic, saying the people
subjected the governments to accountability through ballot.
However,
he said that there should be a proper investigation into the allegations of
rigging in the polls.
