SIALKOT – Former PTI leader Usman Dar’s mother accused PML-N’s Khawaja Asif and the police of raiding their Sialkot residence and mistreating her family, a claim that Khawaja Asif and the Sialkot police have both denied.
In a video shared by Usman on ‘X’, commonly known as twitter, his mother highlighted a broken door frame, alleging that attackers forced their way into her home orchestrated by Khawaja Asif. She claimed they manhandled her, vowing that such intimidation wouldn’t deter her from submitting her nomination for the February 8 general elections. She appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, urging an investigation into the incident and challenging Asif to face her in the electoral arena.

قابلِ احترام چیف جسٹس قاضی فائز عیسیٰ صاحب اور ملک پاکستان کے طاقتور حلقوں سے ایک بیٹے کا سوال ہے کہ میری ماں، میری بیوی، میرے بچوں اور میرے خاندان پر مسلسل ہونے والے ظلم و ستم کا حساب کون لے گا؟؟؟ pic.twitter.com/r2Q5MuIwht

In response, Asif maintained his stance of principled politics, emphasizing respect for opponents and their families. He expressed dismay at sacrificing his family’s traditions due to political actions.
Asif directly addressed Usman, urging him not to involve respected personalities like mothers in political spectacles. He advised preserving their dignity and refraining from exploiting them for political gain.
9مئی کو عثمان ڈار صاحب جو کردار ادا کیا اور اس کے بعد روپوش ھو گئے تھے ۔ اسکا ملبہ بھی مجھ پہ ڈال دیں۔ پھر پکڑے گئے اور پھر TV پہ انہوں نے پچھتاوے کااظہار کیا معافی مانگی اور اپنے لیڈر پہ جو الزامات لگائے اسکا ملبہ بھی میرے پہ ڈال دیں۔ اگر خود کسی وجہ سے الیکشن نہیں لڑنا…
