Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Farrukh Habib’s wife requested Qazi Faez Issa, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), to take imme-diate notice of her husband’s enforced disappearance, ascertain his fate and whereabouts, besides ensuring his instantly recovery because his entirely family was deeply concerned about his safety and well-being.
In her letter to the CJP, she informed that Farrukh was illegally picked up by unknown men from Gwadar on September 28, 2023 but he has not yet been presented in front of a magistrate in any Court, in a clear violation of his fundamental right to fair trial and access to justice.
She expressed apprehension that since the crackdown intensified significantly post-9 May 2023, fearing that her husband was being tortured and humiliated with the objective to change his political loyalties, as there was a calculated method behind this madness, this has happened to all the political leaders who have been abducted so far.
She said: “Farrukh, who is a PTI President West Region, is a well-respected and law-abiding citizen of Pakistan, who has been member of National As-sembly from August, 2018 till April, 2022 and Min-ister of State for Information and Broadcasting.”
“I crave your gracious indulgence into this matter of serious nature because my husband’s and his family’s fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution are being brazenly violated, as I am choiceless, helpless and hapless. Therefore, I request you to take meaningful notice and address my grievance,” she requested.
“Farrukh followed the same suit but he was whisked away from Gwadar by members of Punjab police, law enforcement agencies of Baluchistan and some unknown person in private clothes,” she revealed.
