The BBC has learnt that senior officials of one of Pakistan's biggest political parties, the MQM, told UK authorities in formal recorded interviews that the party was receiving funding from the Indian government.

The Indian government denied the allegation, telling the BBC that the charges were completely baseless. An MQM official said the party would not comment on "rumours".

The MQM has long been a dominant force in the politics of Pakistan's largest city Karachi but as the BBC's Owen Bennett Jones reports, pressure on the party is mounting.
