Pakistan is mulling dragging India to the UN for alleged interference in its affairs after a BBC report claimed India has been helping the Muttahida Qaumi Movement with funds and training to create unrest in Karachi.Pakistan’s ambassador to the United Nations Dr Maleeha lodhi is in Islamabad for consultations with the government contemplating action against India in the UN for alleged interference, officials said on Tuesday.
The issue came to light after a recent BBC report alleged that India provided funding for MQM party which lords over financial capital Karachi. India has rejected the claims as “completely baseless”.MQM has also denied receiving any funds from India with its founder and chief Altaf Hussain vehemently rejecting the claim that his party had any connection with India’s RAW. Pakistan has launched a probe and has also written to the British Government for details about the BBC report and copies of the statement of two MQM leaders who reportedly police in london about Indian funding.
