ISLAMABAD: Federal government decided not to file reference against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder in Britain after his provocative speech to party workers on August 22.
Sources in the interior ministry told a private TV Channel on Monday that the British government would be provided evidence against MQM founder for provoking people to violence.
According to sources, the government will not ask British authorities for the extradition of MQM founder as it was not possible because there was no treaty between the two governments.
The British government would be asked to take legal action against MQM founder, sources in the ministry said.
According to sources, Sindh government has also provided the necessary documents to the interior
ministry in this regard.
They said that Scotland Yard was also conducting its own investigation in this regard and was collecting evidence against MQM founder.
Sources said that services of a legal council would also be taken, if required.
They said the Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan was in close contact with British authorities regarding the issue.
They further said that the interior ministry was pushing UK’s Home Department to take action against MQM founder as provoking people to violence was also against British laws..-Agencies
