LONDON: Toby Cadman, the lawyer who is representing Pakistan in Altaf Hussain case, on Wednesday said that according to the material he has seen, sufficient evidence is present to charge Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder. “I have seen the evidence, I have reviewed all the evidence from Pakistani authorities and I can say that it presents a compelling case. It is my assessment that there is sufficient evidence to charge Altaf Hussain for a number charges,” Cadman told a private media outlet. Earlier, Scotland Yard requested additional 12-hour detention period of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder, Altaf Hussain, who was arrested a day earlier from his north London abode. Over 20 identical FIRs [First Information Report] pertaining to hate speech were registered against Altaf Hussain and several other leaders and workers of the MQM’s London and Pakistan factions.
