Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain arrived on Monday at Southwark police station in South London to appear before British authorities in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering.

With the extension of his bail – granted to him for the fourth time in July – ending today, Altaf has to appear at the police station.

According to reports, Farooq Sattar, Mohammad Anwar and other senior party leaders are accompanying the MQM chief.

Earlier today, regarding speculation that the MQM chief may be charged with money laundering, the party’s spokesperson said they will deal with the situation in accordance with the law and constitution if that happens. “We cannot comment on this right now, and would only be able to say something once the interview ends,” he said.

Three days before Altaf’s due questioning by the UK police, the MQM had released a statement confirming that he would be brought to the police station to be ‘further interviewed’. The statement said that Altaf and the MQM deny any involvement in money laundering. The party also claimed that Altaf’s life is in danger in London, and conspiracies have been hatched to eliminate him.

The MQM chief has been a part of money laundering investigations after the Scotland Yard recovered a huge amount of cash from his residence and office in June 2013. He was arrested a year later and released after questioning. No formal charges have so far been pressed against him.

Today’s appearance before the UK police would reveal if Altaf has been charged, his bail extended or he has been cleared from the allegations.

HYDERABAD: A senior Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader, Dr Salim Danish, who served the party as its United Kingdom organiser and a member of its London coordination committee, arrived in Karachi at 4am on Wednesday, lending credence to reports that he may be chosen as the mayor of Hyderabad.

Soon after arriving in Karachi, Dr Danish drove to Hyderabad, his hometown from where he was first elected as a member of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation in 1987. Aftab Ahmed Shaikh became the mayor and Rasheed Ahmed Khan the deputy mayor following the election process in that year.

In Hyderabad, Dr Danish met his party’s zonal in-charge Naveed Shamsi and zonal committee members. His nomination form for a labour seat in the HMC had already been filled late on Tuesday night and submitted with returning officer Attaullah Nohrio, the additional deputy commissioner-I. Dr Danish left for Karachi in the evening.

An MQM leader in Karachi who until late Tuesday night was reluctant to comment on reports of Dr Danish’s return from London was able to say on Wednesday evening that “yes, there are strong chances of his [Dr Danish’s] becoming the mayor of Hyderabad”.

A source wishing to remain anonymous said that “when London [the MQM international secretariat] is sending someone from the UK to contest on a seat of councillor, it doesn’t mean he will work as a councillor”.

The MQM had earlier considered the names of former MNAs Tayyab Hussain and Salahuddin, Sohail Mashhadi, Abid Ghauri, Zafar Rajput and some other leaders for the slots of Hyderabad mayor and deputy mayor.
