Where did he took credit? He clearly informed that the investigation is being done in England and the UK government is keeping the Pak gov. in the loop as a diplomatic courtesy (understandably to a limited extent only)

Altaf said the property was purchased with the money donated by party workers and it was owned by the MQM. “Hard cash is also the donations from the party workers,” he added.

According to sources, if the property and money is proved to be legal, the case against the MQM leader would be withdrawn.

Meanwhile, talking to reporters, Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said the MQM chief’s interrogation with reference to the Imran Farooq murder case was being carried out in accordance with British laws.
