Altaf Hussain; Godfather of Karachi, resident of Edgware
Yesterday
I called upon the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to arrest a British
citizen for incitement to murder. It is an open and shut case. You can watch
his lips move on television, broadcast from London, in the wake of the
controversial election count in the giant port city of Karachi, Pakistan.
Hussain openly threatened the young democracy protesters agitating for a re-run
of the election there that he would have them cut them down with swords.
No-one
should think this mere rhetoric, Hussain is already convicted in Pakistan for
multiple murder extortion organised crime and terrorist offences. That’s why he
lives in Edgware. In fact he is chief suspect in over 100 murder cases,
including in England in the murder of one of his own leading comrades.
Five
years ago I gave a speech in Parliament asking why the then New Labour
government was not only tolerating the presence in this country of a mafia
style chief making regular broadcasts from London ordering crimes to be
committed in a friendly country, but had actually given the Don a British
passport!
The
previous, Conservative, government had, I believed, refused citizenship to
Altaf Hussain. New Labour as just one of many crimes against the people of the
Muslim world thought differently and conveyed upon a convicted murderer all the
rights of citizen upon him.
This at
a time when a secret treaty with the United States had been signed by New Labour
allowing the extradition of British citizens to the US merely on the say-so of
American prosecutorial authorities without a scintilla of evidence that they
had been involved in terrorism of any kind.
So much
for the war on terror, I said.
The
reply to my speech, from the now disgraced former Blair War leader Geoff Hoon
is worth watching as a study in smug smirking malevolent arrogance, such a
hallmark of the Tony Blair/New labour era.
If you
can’t bear to watch let me tell you that answer came there none to my salient
question; why was Altaf Hussain being allowed to mastermind terrorist
operations in Pakistan from London in full view of the authorities? And why was
he awarded British citizenship?
There
the story would have lain – like the ten dead bodies a day in Karachi for which
Altaf Hussain is responsible – stone dead.
Until
this week, when in a broadcast extraordinary even by his standards he openly
threatened death, disfigurement, murder, mayhem and secession in Pakistan. From
his well-stuffed sofa in the capital city of the United Kingdom, chief adjutant
state in the War on Terror.
I have
tabled questions, which must be answered tomorrow, to the British Prime
Minister David Cameron and the Home Secretary Theresa May, on this latest
crime. Many millions of people in Britain, in Pakistan and around the world are
waiting for the answers. Watch this space.
