Allegations against MQM In November 2011, Mirza left for London carrying documents he claimed contained evidence against

Scotland Yard on 17 November 2011.
Fight against corruption Zulfiqar Mirza has said that the political gathering of the
Imran Khan led
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was an indicator of change in Pakistan and thousands of
PPP workers, loyal to
Benazir Bhutto and
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, along with
Shah Mahmood Qureshi would come out on the streets for a change too. Mirza said that he was still a PPP worker and vowed to fight against corrupt ministers and cliques in the party. However, Mirza's wife,
Fahmida Mirza has also been declared a loan defaulter by the
State Bank of Pakistan. == Personal life ==
