Anti-Altaf statements: MQM files FIR against Lal Masjid cleric
Cleric accused of terrorism, provoking to violence, cyber crime among other offenses in the report
KARACHI:
An FIR was registered against Lal Masjid chief Maulana Abdul Aziz in a Karachi police station on the request of Muttahida Quami Movement, Express News reported on Sunday.
The FIR was filed against Aziz for allegedly issuing threatening statements against MQM chief Altaf Hussain in one of his sermons.
The cleric is accused of terrorism, provoking to violence, cyber crime among other offenses in the report.
The MQM chief had earlier called for the arrest of Aziz for ‘sympathising with the Taliban’ and demanded the army close down Jamia Hafsa seminary.
The Lal Masjid cleric landed in hot water after he allegedly refused to condemn the Peshawar school attack which left at least 132 school children dead. Police in Islamabad registered a case against him following a protracted protest by civil society members against his controversial statement.
