“Is there any foreign hand behind violence in Pakistan,” he questioned. “Had an Indian political party been accused of taking assistance from ISI, would it be able to continue operating for a single day?”
If there was revelation that an Indian pol party had received funds from ISI,would it have been allowed to function for even a day in India?

The PTI chief said, “MQM’s only redemption lies in suing BBC for what are treason charges”.
MQM’s only redemption lies in suing BBC for what are treason charges. MQM has sued me & other PTI ldrs plus media ppl on frivolous charges.

On the contrary, Saad Rafique said BBC is a foreign news agency and a final opinion against MQM cannot be formed based on its report.
The report against MQM has sent shock waves since it surfaced, while it mentioned in the end that ‘whatever is going on in London it will have its effects in Islamabad, New Delhi and Karachi’.
