'Muhajir Republican Army' is another gaffe after 'Jinnahpur': Altaf Hussain

Chaudhry Nisar withdraws less than "perfect" report from Supreme Court.

LONDON: The Muttahida Qaumit Movement chief Altaf Hussain has called the idea of a 'Muhajir Republican Army' another malicious gaffe after the so-called 'Jinnahpur' conspiracy, reported Express News.


Attorney-General Munir A Malik used the term 'Muhajir Republican Army' for a shadowy group he believed to be involved in spreading violence in Karachi, in a report submitted for the Karachi law and order case, heard earlier today.

The MQM chief called upon the Chief Justice to launch an impartial investigation regarding the mischief-makers behind this 'army'.

Altaf said the forces responsible should be brought to justice and if all the hype boils down to nothing real, then the perpetrators of these rumours should be tried by the Interior Ministry for badmouthing well-meaning patriots.

The MQM chief said that false insinuations will not deface or destroy his party.

He instructed MQM representatives to openly condemn the 'Muhajir Republican Army' in the senate and provincial assembly.

Nisar withdraws report

The government on Friday withdrew its written reply from the Supreme Court on Friday when Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan claimed that the report was not ‘perfect’.

Nisar told the floor of the House that concerned officials did not take him in loop while submitting the report to the apex court, which carried ‘very sensitive information’.
