Victory of all the Opressed and Downtrodden Pakistanis

Politically Motivated Major Kaleem Case Against MQM Founder and Leader Mr. Altaf Hussain Set Aside by the Sindh HighCourt

High Court vindicates Altaf Hussain, 18 others in Major Kaleem case

Karachi, February 6, 1998: A division bench of the Sindh High Court comprising Mr. Justice Nazim Hussain Siddiqui and Mr. Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar, acquitted all the nineteen MQM members, including the Founder and Leader of Mutathida Quami Movement, Mr. Altaf Hussain, on Friday morning.

Those acquitted included former Secretary General Dr.Imran Farooq, former central leader Saleem Shahzad, former Sindh Minister Dr. Safdar Baqri, Sector incharges Ashfaq Chief, Haji Jalal, and Jawed Kazmi from famous Major Kaleem case.

Politics of persecution and victimisation against Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) in Pakistan must stop for ever. Setting aside of Major Kaleem Case against Altaf Hussain is vindicative of it.
