Senior leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) and Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal has alleged that MQM founder Altaf Hussain was involved in the 2010 murder of Dr Imran Farooq.

Speaking at a press conference in Karachi on Sunday, Kamal levelled serious allegations against Altaf Hussain and claimed he had detailed evidence of Altaf Hussain’s involvement in the murder.

He said Dr Farooq’s widow, Shumail Imran, recently passed away in London and had expressed the wish to be buried in Pakistan.

Kamal stated that Altaf Hussain launched an appeal for donations for the repatriation of the body of Dr Farooq’s widow.

He said that Altaf Hussain staged unnecessary drama over the funeral of Shumail Imran, while large sums of money collected were unaccounted for.

He claimed that millions of pounds were collected worldwide under the pretext of sending the body of Shumail Imran to Pakistan.

Kamal added that Dr Farooq’s family was abandoned by the MQM founder following his death.

The federal minister accused Altaf Hussain of orchestrating the murder and rewarding the killers, calling it a “sensational and shocking game.”

Kamal claimed he possesses complete details of the murder and urged authorities to arrest the real perpetrators.

Kamal appealed to Dr Farooq’s children not to engage with Altaf Hussain.

He further alleged that Altaf Hussain avoided reopening Dr Farooq’s murder case in the UK courts.

Kamal also accused Altaf Hussain of receiving funds from India’s intelligence agency RAW over the past 25 years, exploiting the cause of Muhajir rights for personal gain.

In strong terms, Kamal called Hussain a “national criminal and traitor,” claiming he has caused harm to the nation’s youth.

Kamal vowed to go to the UK to cooperate with investigations into Dr Farooq’s murder and to raise the public’s voice.
