ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has alleged that Rizwan Ahmed, a member of the party’s Central Media Department, and his brother Nouman Ahmed, were abducted on Friday outside their residence in Iqbal Town, Rawalpindi. The incident occurred just before the PTI jalsa in Islamabad.
The PTI has expressed deep concern, as they have no information regarding their whereabouts.
Eyewitnesses informed the media that unidentified persons forced them into a black Vigo vehicle and fled the scene.
During a press conference at the PTI Central Secretariat regarding the postponement of the Islamabad jalsa, Omar Ayub Khan, opposition leader in the National Assembly, questioned the purposes of black Vigo vehicles, alleging agencies’ involvement in the abductions of Rizwan Ahmed, Imran Riaz, Azhar Mishwani’s two brothers, who are not politically affiliated, and Dr. Shahbaz Gill’s brother.
He condemned such actions, emphasizing their commitment to upholding constitutional supremacy.
When contacted, the police did not provide any details regarding Rizwan’s alleged disappearance, saying they were unaware of the situation.
President PTI Punjab Hammad Azhar posted on X that those who fear the people abducted Rizwan and his brother. He criticised the judiciary’s priorities amid global discussions on the country’s justice system.
رضوان احمد اور ان کے بھائی نعمان احمد کو اب عوام سے خوفزدہ فسطائیت نے اغوا کر لیا ہے۔ پوری دنیا اب ہمارے ملک میں جاری جبر کے نظام پر آواز پر بات کر رہی ہے لیکن ہماری اعلی ترین عدالت کی ترجیحات مختلف ہیں۔ https://t.co/wHEx0CMJM8
