Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has released several videos on its official YouTube channel, highlighting the arrests of senior party leaders amid the ongoing crackdown by the government. The videos show the illegal arrests of prominent PTI figures, including Barrister Shoaib Shaheen, Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan, and a video statement from PTI Leader Asad Qaiser.
PTI Leader Shoaib Shaheen Arrested from His Office
One of the videos shared on PTI’s YouTube channel reveals the dramatic arrest of senior party leader and lawyer Shoaib Shaheen. In the video, Shaheen can be seen at his office when law enforcement officials arrive and take him into custody. PTI claims the arrest is unlawful, citing Shaheen’s role as a legal advisor for the party in various high-profile cases. The video describes the manner of his arrest as excessive, with PTI accusing authorities of targeting their leadership to suppress the party’s political activities.
PTI officials condemned the arrest, calling it an attack on the judiciary and legal experts who are defending the party’s stance in court. PTI supporters have taken to social media to denounce the government’s actions, arguing that Shaheen’s arrest signals an attempt to silence legal advocates for PTI.
Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar Khan Arrested from Parliament
Another video released by PTI shows the arrest of Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan from within the Parliament premises. According to the video, Khan was detained just after a session had concluded, making his arrest more controversial. PTI labeled this move as a direct violation of legal protocols, as members of Parliament are typically protected from such actions during or immediately after parliamentary sessions.
The video captures the moment law enforcement officers escorted Gohar Khan out of the Parliament building. PTI has expressed outrage, calling this arrest illegal and politically motivated. They argue that the government is using such tactics to demoralize and dismantle PTI’s leadership, particularly those actively involved in the party’s legal defense and political strategy.
Khan’s arrest has sparked widespread criticism from PTI members and supporters, who view this as part of a broader government effort to stifle the opposition. Several PTI leaders issued statements condemning the government’s crackdown on their leadership.
One of the more disturbing videos published by PTI shows the arrest of lawmaker Sher Afzal Khan Marwat. The footage reveals police officers dragging Marwat by his collar and forcibly shoving him as they took him into custody. The rough treatment of Marwat has sparked outrage within PTI, with party officials decrying the use of excessive force and the disrespect shown to an elected representative. The video has drawn widespread condemnation from PTI supporters, who view it as part of a larger effort to intimidate the party’s leadership and disrupt its political activities.
In addition to documenting arrests, PTI uploaded an urgent video statement from party leader Asad Qaiser. In his statement, Qaiser addressed the unfolding situation, calling the arrests politically motivated and illegal. He emphasized that the government’s actions were a direct violation of democratic principles and urged authorities to release the detained leaders immediately. Qaiser warned that the continued crackdown on PTI leaders would only escalate tensions and could lead to further unrest. He reassured party supporters that PTI would continue its struggle for democracy and the rule of law, vowing to stand firm in the face of government pressure.
Qaiser also criticized the government’s attempts to silence political dissent and restrict the right to peaceful assembly. He called on the judiciary to intervene and take action against what he described as “politically charged and unlawful” arrests. Qaiser’s video statement concluded with a message of resilience, urging PTI members and supporters to remain united and peaceful despite the government’s crackdown.
