The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan has asked its citizens to provide evidence against the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) through advertisements in several leading national dailies.
The move came after Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar announced on Thursday that a committee, comprising members of the FIA, has been formed to investigate allegations raised by Sarfaraz Merchant against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
According to the Express Tribune, Nisar while addressing a press conference in Islamabad, said that Merchant had alleged the MQM is involved in money-laundering, criminal activities, and has connections with the RAW.
He asserted that the ministry has also given advertisements in major national dailies asking people to provide evidence against the MQM.
The ministry had on March 8 directed the Pakistan's investigating agency to probe the allegations levelled against the top leadership of the MQM.
