Lord Nazir vows to raise issue of Imran Farooqs murder, terrorism in Karachi in UK Parliament

Member of the British House of Lords, Lord Nazir Ahmed has vowed to raise the issue of Imran Farooq murder in UK Parliament. Addressing a press conference here in London on Wednesday, Lord Nazir said he would not capitulate to any pressure or threat to highlight the issue in UK Lower House. He claimed that a member of the Parliament had assured him of raising the issue of Imran Farooq murder on the floor. Lord Nazir deplored the announcement by Azad Kashmirs Prime Minister to abolish his citizenship, saying he (AJK PM) cannot terminate the citizenship of any person legally and constitutionally. Moved on directives by the high-ups, the AJKs Legislative Assembly members phoned him to stay away from Sindhs former Home Minister Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza, he claimed. Lord Nazir Ahmed said he will hand his phone log to the British police and consequently, the people involved in pressurizing him, may be put behind bars. I will raise the issue of Karachi terrorism at the House of Lords, he added.
