APL condemns killing of Pakistani politician Dr Imran Farooq in London

The Association of Pakistani Lawyers (APL) a team of Pakistani origin lawyers, Solicitors, Barristers, and Judges in UK has condemned the killing of a Pakistani politician and an ex parliamentarian Dr Imran Farooq, a former convenor of the MQM.

APL warned earlier that the politics of intolerance will import and breed violence even in the peaceful city of London, and APL fears have come true today.

APL has demanded the British Home Secretary Rt. Hon. Theresa May to take serious notice of this killing and open a wider investigation to rule out all possibilities in order to avoid further unrest in the city.

APL executive has offered condolences to the family and expect a fair investigation to determine the perpetrators of this crime ensuring justice with the deceased and his family.

Britain must not allow anyone to take law in their hands and message must be stronger to avoid further public unrest.
