MULTAN: Veteran politician Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has claimed police barged into his house and arrested his son-in-law, who is also Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed candidate, Makhdoom Shahid Bahar Hashmi, grandson Qasim Hashmi and house servants late Wednesday, Geo News reported.
Javed Hashmi said 20 Punjab Police officials surrounded his ‘Makhdoom Rasheed’ residence at 1:00am and “illegally entered without a warrant”, violating the sanctity of the house. The PTI workers convention was scheduled to be held at the residence where the raid took place, according to the senior politician.
“My son-in-law Shahid Bahar Hashmi and grandson Qasim Hashmi have been taken into illegal custody,” he wrote on his X account. All employees had been arrested, he added.
He claimed that police entered his house by breaking the doors.
Javed also said that PTI candidates and children of incarcerated PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Meher Bano Qureshi and Zain Qureshi, were to attend the convention.
Despite the raid, a close relative of the senior politician, Makhdoom Zahid Bahar Hashmi, said the workers convention would take place at Hashmi’s residence and the candidate for NA-151 constituency Meher Bano would also attend it.
