STIGMATISED AZAM SWATI CRIES IN VAIN?

Reacting to a video clip of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Swati breaking down in tears at a press conference, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar has said that he never thought the intelligence could be so ‘shameless and disrespectful’.

The PPP Senator shared a clip of Azam Swati detailing his torture at the hands of the authorities at a press conference. Swati revealed that his daughter had allegedly broken down while telling him that the agencies had some private and personal videos of him and his wife. The PTI Senator himself started crying while narrating this.

Reacting to the video clip, Khokhar said, “This clip of Azam Swati Sahib is a slap on the face of the Senate Chairman and all parliamentarians.”

He went on to say that he never would have thought the intelligence would be so shameless and disrespectful so as to tear our religious and social ethics and etiquette to shreds in such a manner.

“No one’s self-respect is safe,” he wrote, adding, “May God curse these people.”

Talking about the aftermath of assassination attempt on PTI Chief Imran Khan, it would be sheer fantasy to talk little of Mr Khan’s popularity but neither he nor those willing to burn the citadel down in his name would wish to create more holes in an already struggling ship. Economically speaking, we are in no position to stomach yet another setback. In the meantime, the nation is in desperate need of some olive branch from the state to at least repair the razed-to-ground bridges. If history serves oft-repeating lessons, Pakistan would spend a while before it recovers from this attack. Still, optimism forces us to hope for normalcy to prevail before more lives are lost to an endless spree of violence. If only, wishes were horses!
