Banning MQM

Published September 1, 2016

ISLAMABAD has decided not to ban the MQM even in the wake of the hostile and anti-state slogans and speeches. This is beyond comprehension. As the recent past shows the MQM has secret ties with our enemy country’s intelligence agency RAW.

The government isn’t even interested in writing to the UK for Altaf Hussain’s extradition. This shows the government is not serious about tackling the MQM or Altaf Husasin.

Why is the government pampering Mr Hussain or Mr Baramdagh who talk openly about breaking Pakistan? The right course of the government would be to bring these traitors back to the country and try them in right earnest.
