Miftah terms death of PTI worker as system failure

Lahore: Former Federal Finance Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Miftah Isamil Friday stated that the death of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker Ali Bilal in the custody means our system has failed, adding that, “We have failed”.

I can’t imagine his last few minutes, Miftah Ismail wrote on social media adding that, “We should be embarrassed”.

He also said that Ali Bilal and his family are in his thoughts and prayers.  

I want to see the day when no political worker is killed in police custody. The death of a PTI worker in custody means our system has failed and we have failed. I can’t imagine his last few minutes. We should be embarrassed.

PML-N leader shared his thoughts while sharing the post of former Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar who said that, in the light of the evidence, there is a strong possibility that PTI activist Ali Bilal was killed by police violence during custody.

He termed the death of party worker as an act of ‘barbarism’.

Mustafa Nawaz added: “This process also raises questions about the impartiality of the caretaker government and the conduct of transparent elections”.

شواہد کی روشنی میں اِس بات کا قوی امکان ہے کہ تحریک انصاف کے کارکن علی بلال کی ہلاکت دورانِ حراست پولیس تشدد سے ہوئی۔ سیاسی ورکر چاہے کسی بھی جماعت سے ہو، یہ عمل سوائے بربریت کے کچھ نہیں۔ یہ عمل نگران حکومت کے غیر جانبدار ہونے پر اور شفاف الیکشن کرانے پر بھی سوال اُٹھاتا ہے۔
