Pakistan(National Times)- LONDON: Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has been threatened with the same fate as Muttahida Qaumi Movement\u2019s (MQM) slain former leader Imran Farooq, who was brutally murdered 14 years ago in London. Geo News has seen the email in which Tessori and his family were warned in gruesome and explicit language. He received the threatening email immediately after landing in London, around two weeks ago, with Peer Haseeb-ur-Rahman and Peer Naqeeb-ur-Rehman of Eid Gah Sharif. The email warned him to cease his activities or face the same fate as Farooq. It also stated that individuals were monitoring him and could easily target him at a time of their choosing. Tessori was further warned that his whereabouts and movements \u2014 as well as those of his family \u2014 were known and that he should reconsider his actions or be prepared for severe consequences. The governor addressed four massive gatherings in the UK alongside the spiritual leaders of Eid Gah Sharif in London, Bradford, and Birmingham. He disclosed the threat on Saturday after returning from London. Farooq, 50, a founding member of the MQM, was killed in Edgware on September 16, 2010, leading to unrest in Karachi. Five years ago, a court in Islamabad found Mohsin Ali Syed, 35, guilty of murder and conspiracy of killing, sentencing him to life imprisonment. A second man, Muhammad Kashif Khan Kamran, 40, was convicted in absentia for Farooq\u2019s murder. Two other men, Khalid Shamim and Moazzam Ali, were also convicted for their involvement in the killing. All of them were affiliated with the MQM before the party split into London and Karachi factions. The sender of the threatening email told Tessori that if Farooq could be assassinated in London, targeting the Sindh governor would be even easier. The email also mentioned Tessori\u2019s child by name. The sender described himself as a nationalist and claimed to be against Tessori for “trying to become the leader of the Mohajir nation.” \u201cYou will not remain governor forever. We know everything about you and know what we have to do. If Secretary General Imran Farooq can be targeted in London, then so can you \u2014 without any difficulty,\u201d the email read.Speaking at a press conference in Karachi, Tessori said he was disturbed by the threat but proceeded with his planned visits to UK cities. Tessori confirmed that he had shared details of the threatening email with Pakistan\u2019s relevant law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
