In a statement, the British HC said Pakistan should take serious notice of Altaf Hussain’s statement.
Thomson further said that strict laws are followed in Britain against hate speech and spreading violence, adding the UK police is currently investigating Altaf’s speech.
He, however, said that no extradition treaty exists between Pakistan and Britain but added that taking action against Altaf Hussain was not out of the question.
He added that if anyone is found guilty, the accused can face imprisonment.
Metropolitan Police say they are aware of complaints made against Altaf Hussain’s remarks from London but currently no investigation is being started. A spokesperson says complaints are still being made and 'we are looking into it, but no investigation yet.'
However, the MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has already denied demanding separation of Karachi from Pakistan.
Adam Thomson termed the recent elections in Pakistan as historic, saying the people subjected the governments to accountability through ballot.
However, he said that there should be a proper investigation into the allegations of rigging in the polls.
