MUZAFFARABAD: A petition has been filed with Deputy Chief Election Commissioner seeking ban on Muthida Qaumi Movment (MQM) in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) and deletion of its name from the list of political parties for being involved in anti state activities.

The petition has been filed by Pak-Kashmir friends Forum, a lesser known body with the election commission of Azad Jammu Kashmir here on Monday. The petition said that the MQM chief was involved in anti state activities for the past many years and had been speaking bitter against Pakistan which had strengthened the forces working against Pakistan and the Kashmir freedom movement.

The petitioner prayed the election commission to delete its name from the list of political parties working in Azad Jammu Kashmir and impose a ban on its activities in the area on the basis of stated facts.
