ISLAMABAD - A key leader of Pakistan opposition party alllegedly abducted from his home in Lahore, claimed by Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf on Friday.

Azhar Mashwani, focal person of former Prime Minister Imran Khan was picked up from his home and disappeared since Thursday, said Fawad Chaudhery, former Information Minister and vice president of PTI. 

“We have been tracking Mashwani’s location,” the ex-information minister said. “He was at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) office in Bedian. Then he was shifted to Islamabad,” Dawn quoted Fawad as saying.

Fawad said the party had tried to get a first information report (FIR) registered against Mashwani’s alleged abduction but officials had refused to do so. “We tried registering it at the Green Town police station but they did not lodge a report.”

He added that the police were being “pressurised” to not register a FIR against the PTI activist’s “illegal abduction”.

Earlier, former prime minister Khan also strongly reacted over disappearance of his local leader and said "enough is enough."

"Enough is enough. Police in Punjab & Islamabad are breaking all laws with impunity as they target PTI. Today Azhar Mashwani was abducted in the afternoon from Lahore & his whereabouts are unknown. On 18 March Senator Shibli Faraz & Omar Sultan were badly beaten by ICT police،" Khan tweeted.

"despite both having permission to be inside Judicial Complex. Hassaan Niazi was abducted immed after getting bail & later charged with sham FIRs to keep him lcoked up. I am sending pictures of IGs Punjab & ICT & of all officers indulging in this criminal behaviour to int HR orgs," he added.

"so they can identify those working for the state & indulging in abductions, illegal break-ins into homes, custodial torture & violence against political ldrs & unarmed workers of PTI. Demand immed release of Azhar Mashwani," former premier said.

He added that so far over 740 unarmed PTI workers have been arrested from Islamabad , Lahore & across Punjab.

"These are poor ppl, many daily wage earners. Cabal of crooks has no respect for sanctity of Holy month of Ramazan when ppl want to have security to fast & pray. Demand immed release of our workers," Khan said.

Khan's workers and journalists currently facing tough situation and worst human rights violations in the country as the ruling allaince use police and other law enforcement agencies against the opposition as Khan enjoy massive public support and could easily win the election.

On Thursday the election commission also posptponed elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces despite clear ordered from the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

PTI announced to move the top court as the election commission violated its order and tried to rescue the ruling allaince from defeat in elections.
