Police to detain Dr Amir Liaquat as abettor in Altaf's anti-state speech

KARACHIL:District Malir police have reportedly decided to detain Dr. Amir Liaquat in capacity of an abettor in the case against Altaf Hussain over latest speech which led to violence and chants of anti-state slogans.

According to SSP Malir, Rao Anwar, a police team was formed to nab Dr. Liaquat.

He also informed that the ex-MQM leader was nominated as a facilitator in three cases and was now wanted by police for investigation.

It is pertinent to mention here that Dr. Amir Liaquat resigned from Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s membership two days ago after MQM chief’s anti-Pakistan speech.

Dr Liaquat’s resignation came the next day after he spent a night in Rangers custody as he was detained along with Dr. Farooq Sattar following party chief’s speech.

While talking to a TV channel, Dr. Liaquat stated that the party was going through a tough time and that he was never a traitor.

He also mentioned the possibility of him leaving the country if he was pressurized further. The Police’s decision that was made on late Wednesday is expected to be implemented soon.

Experts have said that Dr. Liaquat’s decision to quit the party was a result of not being sure of whether to follow Altaf Hussain or Dr. Farooq Sattar at the time.
