So that's why Altaf was not being provided a Pakistani Passport by Noon League. It is obvious they were working for the UK government to trap him and time the event with the Budget Speech Deflection of public as usual
Why is the UK Scotland not charging Nawaz, Dar and Zardari who have a clearly proven and confessed money laundering charges on record

There might be a deep conspiracy in this? Why was Altaf denied a passport by GOP?

@excalibur Because they transfer money to Switzerland, and it's legal in Switzerland. They are smart. If Switzerland law can't punish them, we should not vote them and give them free hand to do the same thing.

Altaf knew that his days in UK were numbered and that is why his party was putting pressure to obtain his passport and ID card in order to bring him back. UK police knew that once he leaves for Pakistan, they will not be able to touch him there. Well done London police. This should have been done a long time ago.

@excalibur
Altaf Hussain has been 'arrested' for money laundering in UK, not in Pakistan. He must have not paid the required tax in UK. He is a big trouble.

I don't understand the conspiracy theorists... In UK law if you do something wrong you are arrested simple is that... What is so difficult to understand in this situation and since he is a UK national he was not deported.

Imran Khan contributed greatly in Altaf's arrest. He is the one who started the campaign and handed two suitcases full of documents against Altaf Hussain and MQM to Scotland Yard. Congratulations to him for fulfilling atleast one of his promises.

@excalibur... any countries keeping their silence for a political gain/ reasons are as guilty as the culprits themselves...

@Excalibur - Altaf Hussain is a British Citizen living in London for last 20 odd years, whereas Nawaz, Zardari and Dar are not. So Scotland Yard has no jurisdiction to arrest them.
