Eleven individuals were arrested in Karachi following a rally supporting Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain, police confirmed Friday. The arrests stem from reports of public slogans and flags displayed on Arif Jiyeja Street, allegedly inciting tensions and hostility between political groups. Authorities registered a case under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code related to promoting enmity and acting with common intent. MQM officials claim the arrests occurred during a raid on an office with no affiliation to the party and are demanding the detainees’ release. Hussain’s past leadership of MQM was marked by accusations of violence and culminated in a controversial 2016 speech criticizing Pakistan, leading to attacks on media outlets. The incident highlights ongoing sensitivities surrounding Hussain and his former political organization within the country.
