KARACHI: More than 25 workers of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-London, (MQM-L) who protested under the guise of Independence Day in Karachi, were arrested.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police Karachi South district Asad Ali Raza, more than 2 dozen people arrived outside the Karachi Press Club with national flags in different vehicles, who after a while suddenly took out MQM London flags and took pictures of their founder leaders and started raising slogans.
He said that since MQM-London and its leader are banned in Pakistan and the organization has been declared illegal, they are not allowed to take such action.
