MQM questions manner of Rangers' raid
The MQM, while responding to the statement released by the Rangers posed a series of questions on the manner of the raid.
The MQM asked why wasn't the accused arrested while he was coming or going to the restaurant. Further, why wasn't he arrested on the previous occasions he had been spotted there.
The party further asked why did the paramilitary force detain Hassan Raza and confiscate records of the restaurant, or why did the Rangers feel the need to close and seal the establishment.
