Usman Dar’s Family Accuses Khawaja Asif of Home Invasion
In a dramatic turn of events, the mother of former PTI leader Usman Dar has accused PML-N stalwart Khawaja Asif and local police of orchestrating a raid on their Sialkot home, alleging physical mistreatment. Asif and the police deny the allegations.
In a compelling video shared on social media, Usman Dar’s mother appealed to Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa to intervene, showcasing a broken door frame as evidence of the alleged attack. Undeterred, she decided to submit her nomination for the upcoming February 8 general elections.
In response, Khawaja Asif, while denying vindictive politics, expressed disdain for the sacrifice of his family’s traditions due to the contentious political atmosphere. He urged respect for family sanctity in political discourse.
The Sialkot District Police Officer, Muhammad Hasan Iqbal, defended the police raid, stating it aimed to apprehend Usman Dar’s brother, an absconding suspect involved in multiple cases. The DPO dismissed misconduct claims, asserting that evidence linked the brother to anti-state activities.
This incident adds to a series of complaints from the Dar family regarding police raids and mistreatment. In August, Usman Dar alleged state highhandedness, claiming his properties were sealed, and family members were left stranded.
As the political feud intensifies, the plea for justice echoes, with Usman Dar’s mother passionately appealing to the Chief Justice to intervene against perceived injustice. The unfolding drama raises questions about the intersection of politics, law enforcement, and family dynamics, leaving citizens and observers to ponder the state of democracy and justice in Pakistan.
