KARACHI: London’s Metropolitan Police has extended the bail for Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain in relation to his money laundering case till December 2014, DawnNews reported.
The MQM leader had initially been expected to appear for a police interview by 31 July after his bail had expired.
Altaf Hussain appealed to his supporters that they should remain calm while the court proceedings are underway.
Living in self-exile for over two decades, the MQM leader was arrested on June 3 after months of investigation by the British authorities into a money laundering case.
However, by June 7 he was released on bail.

If I were Altaf Bhai... I would start looking for amnesty in other countries.
It seems that the British government has run out of uses for him and the MQM in Pakistan, now that their forces have left Afghanistan.

Money laundering case of BCCI / Agha Hassan Abidi was held in the United States in 80s. It took only two to three wks. which consisted of testimonies of dozens of bank officers, detective of treasury and FBI agents. The amount in question is peanuts compared to BCCI's billions of dollars. Why it is taking so long. Is there a hesitance in finalizing the trial or there is no meat in the case.

Whether we like it or not, MQM, as a secular political party, has substantial following in Urban Sindh. Thanks to Mr. Altaf Hussain the more than 35 million people of Urban Sindh (Pathans, Urdu-speaking Mohajirs, Punjabis and Sindhis included) are better off today compared to four decades ago.

They clearly have no evidence against him, or else this case would have been wrapped up ages ago. MQM has won again, Altaf is a survivor.

@Jalaluddin S. Hussain Certainly better off. They don't know where the next bullet will come from to hit them. Karachi before MQM was generally a peaceful city. Look now. No one is safe, even the men in uniform.

What is in common in the life style of Altaf Husain and that of his followers; I fail to understand.

Finally, Allah is listening to the cries of Pakistan, and He will put Altaf Hussain where he belongs for ever.
