“Pakistan was created on Islamic moral values of human dignity, honour of the family & inviolability of chadar & chardawari. What has happened to Azam Swati at the hands of the State has been a blatant violation of all these values – from being stripped naked to custodial torture.” He said in another tweet.
& now this video where privacy of his wife has been violated. It is both shocking, despicable & utterly condemnable. No human being should have to suffer this. I call on the CJP to take suo moto notice of this.

“& now this video where privacy of his wife has been violated. It is both shocking, despicable & utterly condemnable. No human being should have to suffer this. I call on the CJP to take suo moto notice of this.” He added.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Swati claimed that his wife was sent a private video clip of him and his wife from an “unknown number”.
The senator spoke to the media and described how he learned about the video. He claimed he tried to talk to his wife about it, but she remained silent and refused to engage in conversation.
The senator claimed that after repeatedly asking his wife for information without receiving a response, he requested his daughter, who is currently travelling in Pakistan, to speak with her mother.
He added his daughter told him to wait and spoke to his wife.
Swati said his daughter told him that his wife said someone had sent her a video from an unknown number… and went on to say that “you are in that video” as he broke down in tears describing the ordeal.

The senator furthered that he cannot give further details because the “country’s daughters are listening”.
Swati added that he told his daughter that her mother doesn’t understand that he sleeps at 9 PM and wakes up early morning for prayers.
“I have spent my entire life with her. She doesn’t know that a few days ago, on the morning of October 13, when I was picked up by these cruel people, they made a video of me. These days it isn’t difficult to…. make a fake video.”
He added that his daughter kept weeping on the other side of the phone and said, “Daddy, this video isn’t of anyone else.. it is yours and my mother’s…I told her how is this impossible.”
The senator then broke down in tears.
Swati previously testified before the Supreme Court’s (SC) human rights cell about his “custodial torture,” saying that his honor had been torn apart and that he was now living like a “breathing corpse.”
