KARACHI – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was voted to power in July by the public after accepting its leader Imran Khan’s key slogan of bringing change at every level in the country to improve governance, but the ground reality, according to a senior journalist, shows a completely different picture.
Sami Ibrahim in his programme on Bol TV exposed what he claimed was the reality of the PTI government citing multiple embarrassing incidents that took place since the formation of the new government.
Quoting Prime Minister Imran’s previous statements of ensuring justice in the society, the journalist said that the prevailing situation paints a dark picture of how powerful people are able to use their influence to get their interests served.
DC Gujranwala Transfer Scandal
Ibrahim claimed that Ahsan Jameel Gujjar, a person who had emerged as a key player in the DPO Pakpattan Rizwan Gondal case and later had apologised in the Supreme Court over his illegal act, had influenced the anti-encroachment drive in Gujranwala.
He said that Deputy Commissioner of the city Shoaib Tariq was transferred from his post after a team reached a petrol pump owned by the Gujjar family to demolish it.
Ahsan Jameel Gujjar is the son of PML-N’s MPA Chaudhry Iqbal Gujjar and husband of Farrah, a close friend of PM Imran’s wife Bushra Maneka.

Earlier, some unofficial reports claimed that Shoaib Tariq was abruptly transferred on Friday and was asked to leave the charge in a surprise shuffle, however, Bushra Maneka played a pivotal role in the matter.
The report outlines that Tariq had sent a notice of demolition of a petrol pump tucked on GT Road during the anti-encroachment drive.
However, shocking revelations suggested that Bushara Maneka was approached by the daughter-in-law of Chaudhry Iqbal following which the officer was transferred.
The Deputy Commissioner was asked to report to the Services and General Administration Department (S&GAD) after the intervention.
Moreover, Farrah was also alleged to have played a role in the abrupt transfer of former DPO Pakpattan, Rizwan Gondal.
Bahawalpur DCO Transfer
The senior journalist further claimed that former DCO Bahawalpur, Saqib Hafeez, was transferred, using the political influence allegedly by Akhtar Kanju and a close aide of the prime minister, Jahangir Khan Tareen. He raised question over the governance of the PTI government.
Police Torture Case
Talking about the inhuman activities by the police officials, he said that a woman was made to lick the shoes of her ex-husband at a police station in Sadiqabad.
He said that Assistant Superintendent Police (ASP) Hafeezur Rahman Bugti took Shabana Bibi and her second husband to the police station in order to please her friend Shakeel Bugti, the ex-spouse of the victim.
After the couple was forced to lick the shoes, the woman tried to commit suicide by swallowing poisonous pills.
Later, District Police Officer took action and launched an inquiry into the matter.
