Summary Mustafa Kamal has hurled numerous accusations against Altaf Hussain in a press conference.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – A storm has been stirred in the country’s politics after a controversial press conference by former Mayor of Karachi and former leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Mustafa Kamal and Anees Qaimkhani.
Kamal lashed out against MQM chief Altaf Hussain during the 2 hour long press conference. Political analysts and experts discussed the issue on Dunya News program “Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath” on Friday and said that the only viable options for the government was to either give MQM a clean chit on the past 27 years or take action against it.
The program discussed the barrage of allegations hurled against the MQM chief by the ex-Mayor. Even though MQM’s Rabita Committee immediately rejected Kamal’s tirade, however it failed to provide explanations for any of the major accusations made by Kamal. These accusations against Hussain include relations with Indian intelligence RAW and being funded by them, making public speeches while being intoxicated, abusing Generals, politicians and anchors and then apologizing afterwards, along with using Zakat money for personal gains.
Speaking during the program, constitutional expert Salman Akram Raja said that the allegations against MQM have brought the government into the spotlight.
Meanwhile Former Inspector-General (IG) Sindh Afzal Shagri revealed that he had already provided evidence of MQM’s links with RAW back in 1988.
On the other hand, former Secretary for Defence Lieutenant-General (R) Naeem Khalid Lodhi inquired why no investigation was conducted even when proofs were found. He said a commission should be formed to investigate this issue.
Prior to this, reports by British and other international media have also accused MQM of having ties with the Indian intelligence.
