The Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) central coordination committee members and Sindh Assembly lawmakers on Tuesday wrote to British Prime Minister David Cameron informing him about the threats received by the party from the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and requested that the British government provide maximum security to their party chief Altaf Hussain.
A press statement on the party’s website said that, (the) “MQM had been against all sorts of religious extremism and that its chief, Hussain, had raised his voice against extremism and Talibanisation on various fora
The MQM chief’s vocal opposition to the ideology of the Taliban has turned the militant outfit against Hussain and the party”.
It further said that MQM was a liberal party and such threats were becoming a cause of serious concern for its supporters.
