He further said that “London Metropolitan Police have received a large number of complaints against Altaf Hussain. Let me say that unlike in many countries, British police works independently. So it is up to British police to investigate all these allegations against Altaf Hussain and punish him if found guilty.”

In the end he told Pakistani journalists that not to under estimate the threats to integration of Pakistan from terrorism than to threats from politicians.
