KARACHI: In reply to the defamation notice issued by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) against him, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan said on Wednesday that party leader Zahra Shahid was killed after an ‘inciteful’ speech by Altaf Hussain.
Imran in his reply stated that terrorists were arrested by Rangers after a raid at MQM headquarters Nine Zero – something that proves the party is a terrorist organisation, Express News reported.
