Summary MQM said BBC's report is a continuation of 'media trial' against it
LONDON (Dunya News) – Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has rejected BBC’s report alleging it of receiving Indian funding. MQM said it is a patriotic Pakistani party and that they fully believe in unity and stability of Pakistan.
According to details, The Raabta Committee said that the allegations leveled against MQM are not new, adding that efforts to ‘malign’ MQM were done in the past as well but were proved wrong.
MQM said it was accused of conspiring to create ‘Jinnah Pur’ in the past but the allegation was not proved.
They said that it was accused of hoarding NATO’s lost weapons a while back, adding that the US State Department had itself rejected the assertion.
It says that anti-MQM elements are repeating the allegations over and over again in order to subject MQM to ‘media trial’.
MQM said that BBC’s reporter Owen Bennett-Jones has published anti-MQM reports in the past as well which, it said, were used by opponents for political gimmicks and MQM’s media trial.
It said BBC’s report is a continuation of ‘media trial’ against MQM, adding that it rejects all allegations.
