LONDON: Former Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza indicated on Wednesday that he would return to Pakistan soon to assemble tens of thousands people outside the Sindh Assembly if PPP gave its partner MQM too much space in the local government system.
At a press conference, Dr Mirza, accompanied by Lord Nazir Ahmed of Rotherham, announced that he would resume his political activities after the break he took in respect for the 10 days of Muharram.
Both government partners have been holding brainstorming sessions over the LG system, a draft has been exchanged but an agreement is far from reached and it's believed that tensions are already simmering over the issue.
Mirza said that he spent ten days with his wife, National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza, in Europe, but disagreed that she conveyed to him any message from the presidency to tone down. Dr Mirza said it was their family reunion and no politics was discussed. "Its true I am under a lot of pressure from Pakistan but I will continue," he said, questioning whether he looked subdued as a result of the rumoured pressure.
He said he will hold another meeting with Scotland Yard as he wanted to hand over more information to the London police before returning to Pakistan but said he will keep a contact with the police and extend every possible help in the probe of Dr Imran Farooq's killing.
About the attack on duo in Manchester two weeks ago, Lord Nazir Ahmed said he is in possession of the names of the attackers but "all of them are of Kashmiri origin and linked to Azad Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed and senior Pakistan People's Party leader Chaudhry Yaseen and have nothing to do with Muttahida Qaumi Movement". He said the police was investigating and soon arrests will be made.
