Altaf Hussain, leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, arrested on suspicion of money-laundering a move that sparked fears of violence in his home base of Karachi. Police in Britain do not name suspects until they are charged. But when asked about Hussain, the Metropolitan Police said a 60-year-old had been detained on Tuesday morning.

The kind of reaction we are witnessing in Karachi is beyond reasoning. Whatever they do in Karachi will have no bearing on Altaf Bhai's case in London. They need to understand that laws of Britain do not bend for anyone, so unlike Pakistan.

Not sure what the violence and destruction will achieve, given that he was is in London, and the British government will remain unaffected by any of this. All they are doing is hurting innocent people.

I continue to be amazed at the reaction of MQM supporters - "Gham aur Ghussa" whilst we can understand Gham because their leader is facing potentially serious criminal charges why Ghussa? If anything it should be directed against their leader for his alledged money laundering activities not the people of karachi!!!

I am just not getting it. Are these people asking British govt to release a British Citizen who has criminal charges? If they want Pak govt to intervene and get him released, govt had a right to intervene ONLY if Altaf hussain was a Pak citizen. Can someone ask these people please.
