Serious concerns are being raised over the arrest of PTI workers in Islamabad amid reports of detentions carried out under questionable circumstances.
Several workers were taken into custody by individuals not clearly identified as uniformed police personnel, with reports suggesting the use of prison vans and coordinated operations in the capital.
These developments have triggered strong questions about who authorized such actions, under what legal cover they were conducted, and why due process appears to be absent in these arrests.
This a worrying sign of a “state within a state” phenomenon, demanding immediate judicial attention and transparency over nighttime and plainclothes enforcement operations.
