Interior Minister has taken notice of BBC report against MQM: FO
FO spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah addressed weekly press briefing in Islamabad.
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Foreign Office Spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah on Thursday said the Ministry of Interior has taken notice of BBC report against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Dunya News reported.
The BBC report claimed that members of Pakistan s Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) party, which has its power base in the southern city of Karachi, had received military training at camps in northern and north-eastern India over the past 10 years.
The report further states that Indian intelligence agency RAW is funding the party.
During weekly press briefing in Islamabad, the Foreign Office spokesperson said the Ministry of Interior is reviewing the matter and the authorities will reach any conclusion after that.
He said every step in favour of Pakistan’s interest will be taken.
Qazi Khalillullah said India is trying to politicize the United Nations Security Council s Sanctions Committee by making baseless allegations against Pakistan.
He said that a recent complaint by India against Pakistan was discussed in one of the regular meetings of the Sanctions Committee on purely technical ground and the committee decided not to take any action on the Indian allegations.
He said Pakistan therefore rejects any insinuations and politically motivated moves and attempts that question its commitment to the UN Security Council s decisions.
He said Pakistan in fact supports and respects the decisions of the Security Council while India on the other hand is in open violation of its various resolutions particularly relating to Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
To a question regarding Zaid Hamid’s arrest in Saudi Arabia, the FO spokesperson said Pakistani embassy in Riyadh is taking steps for release of Zaid Hamid.
