HYDERABAD:

Former Sindh home minister Zulfiqar Mirza should be allowed to testify against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in court, said Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hassan at an Eid event on Thursday.

He explained that Mirza should not go to court on his own but be invited by the five-member Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice Iftikar Muhammad Chaudhry to testify in the suo moto case that is under way. He added that the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) would appear in court if it would help the case.
