ISLAMABAD: Prominent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and chairman-elect of Union Council, Bijnial, Rawalpindi district, Shaheen Akbar Khan has expressed deep concern and anguish over the dropping of the money laundering case against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain by British authorities in London.
“No one in Pakistan ever expected that the British police will indict Altaf Hussain because he is working for them against Pakistan,” the PML-N leader said in a statement.
He said Pakistanis were pained over the conclusion of the British authorities, which was unacceptable to them. He said it was a hard fact that the British police had stated that hefty cash was recovered from the properties owned by Altaf Hussain. Shaheen Akbar Khan said that it was not a secret as everything has been documented that Altaf Hussain has been working against Pakistan while sitting in London for more than two decades. But he said the MQM founder has not been stopped by the British government from this nefarious act.
He said even the senior colleagues of Altaf Hussain have admitted to the British investigators that and he and they have been receiving funds from the Indian intelligence agency, Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) to use this money against Pakistan.
He said it was regrettable that they had been allowed by the British authorities to work against Pakistan using their soil.Shaheen Akbar Khan lauded the efforts of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and said he had been working hard to get Altaf Hussain punished for the alleged crimes committed by him. The PML-N leader said that the shock expressed by the minister over the dropping of the money laundering investigation against Altaf Hussain was natural.
