Father murders son for displaying PTI’s flag

Peshawar: A father murdered his son after the pair failed to agree about which political party flag to hoist in the upcoming general election ahead on February 8, 2024.

According to the details, the conflict started when the son who recently came back from Qatar displayed the flag of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at home.

The district police officer Naseer Farid said that the father restrained his son from displaying PTI’s flag at home but the son denied to take it down and support PTI.

Naseer further stated that the fight ascended and in frenzy of rage the father triggered a pistol at his 31-year-old son, before fleeing the house. The son died on the way to hospital.

It should be noted that police are looking for the accused father who was affiliated with the nationalist Awami National Party (ANP) and had previously displayed their flag.

Earlier, the caretaker federal cabinet accorded approval to a summary seeking deployment of the Pakistan Army and troops of civil armed forces to help the civil institutions in holding free, fair and peaceful general election.
