A chilling new video has put a human face on the ongoing political crackdown in Karachi.
Rashid Abbasi, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) District Malir President, has become the latest target of intense police raids. However, it is the psychological toll on his family that is now drawing widespread outrage online.
The Impact on Families
In a video circulating widely across social media platforms, Abbasi’s young daughter can be seen visibly shaken following a recent police raid on their home. Her words, “Daddy, I’m scared the police will come back,” have sparked intense debate over the tactics being used against political opposition leaders in Sindh.
The Political Context
- Ongoing Raids: Law enforcement agencies in Karachi have ramped up pressure on local PTI leadership, leading to frequent nocturnal raids.
- Tensions in Sindh: The police actions coincide with heightened regional political friction and the widespread detention of opposition workers.
- Public Reaction: Human rights advocates and party supporters are calling out the psychological trauma inflicted on minors during these political operations.
The situation remains highly tense in District Malir as PTI continues to condemn what they term “state-sponsored harassment” of their local leadership.
