CCTV footage has surfaced following the attack and attempted abduction of PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Deputy Provincial President Kamal Saleem Swati in Mansehra.
According to the FIR, armed masked men intercepted his vehicle, opened fire and attempted to abduct him. Police have registered a case against six to seven unidentified suspects and launched an investigation.
When political opposition is met with threats, force and intimidation instead of democratic engagement, it raises serious questions about the rule of law.
When power runs out of arguments, does it resort to oppression?
This is not democracy.
This is what critics describe as a culture of fascistic repression.
