London Versus Karachi
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd.)

Though Altaf Hussain has been residing in London for nearly 22 years now and holds British nationality, he must be issued the Pakistani passport and the NIC to facilitate his return to Karachi. An MQM Senator has threatened to ‘close’ down Karachi for a year if the passport is not issued to the MQM leader immediately. I don’t know what does he mean by closing the city. Close it to whom and how? Surprisingly, the same MQM Rabita Committee which had been persistently saying that it didn’t want Altaf Hussain to return to Karachi in view of the threat to his life has now taken up the stance for his return. Has Karachi become safe overnight or is it that London is no more safe for him?
