According to a recent media report on Thursday, it has been stated that Ghulam Shabbir, the political advisor to the imprisoned former prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has been abducted by unknown men in Lahore, the capital city of Punjab province. The incident reportedly took place two days ago when Shabbir was on his way to Islamabad. The Express Tribune newspaper reported that an FIR was registered at the Kahna police station by Shabbir's son, Bilal, who stated that his father had left their residence in Khayaban-e-Amin, Lahore late at night and was headed towards Islamabad. However, no further details were provided.
Imran Khan, the 71-year-old leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been in jail since August of last year after being convicted in several of the nearly 200 cases filed against him since his removal from office in April of 2022. In May of 2022, the former cricketer-turned-politician launched a march from Lahore to Islamabad with the aim of overthrowing the coalition government led by Shehbaz Sharif, who had taken over as prime minister after Khan's ouster through a vote of no confidence.
The FIR lodged by Shabbir's son has raised concerns over the safety and security of political figures in the country. The abduction of Shabbir, who is also the elder brother of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill, has caused a stir among the public and political circles. It is yet to be determined who is behind the abduction and what their motives may be. The incident has also put a spotlight on the current political landscape of Pakistan and the ongoing power struggles within the government. With Imran Khan's imprisonment and now the abduction of his political advisor, the situation seems to be escalating and causing further instability in the country.
