Mqm Chief Altaf neither arrested nor restricted: UK High Commissioner

ISLAMABAD: British High Commissioner in Pakistan, Adam Thomson has clarified that Quaid of MQM Altaf Hussain has not been arrested nor any restrictions have been placed on his movements.
Talking to media at the British High Commission, Monday the British High Commissioner informed that investigations regarding the murder of Imran Farooqi were underway, and despite the fact that it had made some headway, it couldn’t be shared with media as yet.
Terming the political situation in Pakistan as quite interesting, he expressed the keen desire of Britain to forge closer, stronger bilateral ties with Pakistan, and said that Pak-British strategic ties would also be further strengthened .
Replying to a question by ONLINE, Adam Thomson flatly denied any knowledge about any letter written by Altaf Hussain to former British Premier Tony Blair, and advised that it would be better that Altaf Hussain should be contacted in this regard.
He said that Pakistani politicians frequently corresponded with the British High Commission, and there was nothing sensational about this fact.
He also said that Pakistan was passing through difficult times, and Britain would never abandon Pakistan at this critical hour, and fervently hoped for a political stability in Pakistan.
