Dear Mr. Jones,
Re:- YOUR
LAST PROGRAMME ABOUT MQM
I hope this email finds you in good
health and spirits. I had a chance to
watch your last programme on MQM. Do permit me to make the following comments:-
(a)
in the programme it was mentioned that Mr. Hussain has been accused of many murders in
Pakistan. The truth of the matter is
that as it stands today Mr. Hussain is no longer accused or required in any
criminal case in Pakistan. He has been
acquitted in all the cases against him.
Had you confronted me with this aspect a clarificatory statement could
have been made to you. Without prejudice
to this, please give me the details of
any criminal case against Mr. Hussain available with you, so that a
response through documentary evidence
could be duly submitted for the BBC,
British audience and your good-self;
(b)
in the programme it has been mentioned that MQM’s opponents are of the
view that it is losing its grip in
Karachi. Again had you confronted me
with this statement I would have
clarified to you that the result
of the 2013’s general elections,
followed by the by-elections in the urban Sindh, squarely
belie this statement of our opponents.
You could have disclosed the identity of our opponents who are making such
statements, so that we could have given an appropriate reply alongwith
documentary evidence to your good-self and the BBC. Some of our electoral opponents had
challenged before the Election Tribunal of Karachi the election results of
some constituencies in which MQM has
won. No verdict given by the
Election Tribunal of Karachi
till date, has gone against MQM.
In all such cases the election
petitions of the opponents (till date) have been dismissed. Again we could have given you documentary
proof in this regard. Also you could
have used your own resources
to find out the electoral results of urban Sindh for 2008 and 2013 to come to a fair analysis for your own-self, BBC and the British audience that MQM has
not lost any grip in urban Sindh. The allegation in this regard by the
political opponents of MQM is nothing but a farce and this again proves my point
that our political opponents
incorrectly feed details to the British
media, police and authorities about MQM.
Please employ your own
“due diligence”, which is some thing I had requested you, the British
police and the authorities on your programme which was not televised; why this statement was deleted, I
do not know;
(c)
in the programme you have also
telecasted about certain portions of speeches of Mr. Hussain. Again had you confronted me with such
portions of the speeches, I would have made
things clear. For example the particular portion of the speech by Mr.
Hussain made to one Pakistani journalist based in London by the name of Azhar Jawed,
regarding some “bags” was made in jest by Mr. Hussain. And the portion of Mr. Hussain’s speech in respect of the Three Swords Roundabout
at Clifton, Karachi was in response
to what the PTI supporters had said against Mr. Hussain i.e. “…that through the blood of Mr. Hussain the PTI will bring about change….”; and it was in response to this that Mr.
Hussain had warned the supporters of PTI
not to make such hateful inciting speeches otherwise he would not
be able to stop his own supporters.
In other words, Mr. Hussain was preventing any direct or collateral damage caused or sought to be
caused by the hate-inciting speeches of the PTI workers. Again one would have to understand the context and the text of the things including
the background facts;
d) I had also
narrated to you the incident when British police had raided the house of Mr.
Tariq Mir about 6.30 to 7.00 in the morning and told his wife that they were
looking for guns; unable to find any weapon or guns the police taken away £
1100 on the pretext that this was well beyond the threshold of household
expenses and constituted money laundering. The 75 year British couple i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Tariq Mir were harassed. I
had also mentioned that the police had taken the laptop of Mr. Hussain’s 10
year daughter and coin-boxes maintained as a hobby by Mr. Hussain and his daughter; how these items could have
a bearing on money laundering;
e) I had also
informed you that MQM would always cooperate with the British police and
authorities. I had stated that to constitute money laundering the funds had to
be from the proceeds of crime, whereas the funds had found their way to MQM
through verifiable and legitimate sources. It was the police which was taking
dates in the money laundering cases and MQM was cooperating with it;
f) I had also
stated that many politicians from all over the world had a huge assets-base in
the UK and I was surprised to note that why only MQM with paltry funds was
being questioned on money laundering;
g) I also made
a very candid remark that I had great faith in the British judiciary and the
British civil society and have the best wishes for the UK but I did also say
that the British police, authorities, civil society and media should not
perceive the inputs from our political opponents as gospelled truth, while our
political opponents were rampantly
present in the UK; and that the British should exercise their own due diligence
to know us better. At the latter statement you did say that it was a good statement
on my part and you would make it a punch line of the programme;
h) I had also
stated that the MQM leadership in the UK were British citizens and were part of
the British society; and that they would not go anywhere but stay in the UK.
Having met you, I was very impressed
by your candid behaviour, soft, upright and good disposition, which the
hallmark of the British, people that I
have interacted all my life and who have trained me in their best institutions
what they stand for i.e. honesty and integrity. Your programme has caused
untold damage to MQM in Pakistan. All that I request you is that if you could kindly clarify the above
on the BBC and also run my entire recording without any editing.

Regards.
Yours sincerely,
