JACOBABAD: Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Ajaz Jakhrani has strongly protested a police raid on the Karachi residence of his late father, Babal Khan Jakhrani, and called for a high-level inquiry into the incident. Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur has taken notice of the raid and sought a report from the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sindh.
In a video statement released late at night, Ajaz Jakhrani alleged that the police action violated the sanctity and privacy of his father’s home, where women were also present. He said the residence belonged to his father and was also his home, adding that the presence of women made the matter particularly sensitive.
Ajaz Jakhrani clarified that he had already distanced himself from his younger half-brother, Azad Jakhrani. He explained that parliamentary commitments and other engagements had prevented him from contacting the relevant authorities earlier. However, he said he later contacted Faryal Talpur, the provincial home minister and the IGP Sindh to convey his concerns over the police operation.
The MNA demanded that the police officers and personnel responsible for the raid be identified and held accountable. He called for a transparent investigation, adding that any violation of the law or established procedures by police officials should be dealt with accordingly.
