PTI founding member shot dead in Lahore
New Age Desk 03 August, 2024, 22:35
One of founding members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was shot dead in Valencia Town of Lahore as he came out of a mosque after offering Friday prayers.
Shahid Siddique went to offer prayers in Khizra Mosque at H-block of Valencia Town. Siddque offered the prayer and came out of the mosque and was heading to his car when an unknown man approached him and shot at and injured him.
The suspect fled the scene on foot, reports Dawn.
The victim suffered four bullet injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital where he could not survive. The deceased Siddique also worked as Lahore Transport Company chairman during the PTI government.
Police shifted the body to the morgue for autopsy.
Party 'devastated', says it will stand with victim's family to ensure justice
The victim's son told Dawn that an unidentified attacker approached his father outside the mosque and opened fire at him before fleeing.
He said he accompanied his father at the time of shooting. However, he was unaware of motive for the murder, claiming that they did not have enmity with anyone.
Punjab police chief Usman Anwar ordered immediate action to apprehend the perpetrator(s) and sought a detailed report from DIG Operations.
SSP Investigations Anoosh Masood, who visited the crime scene and inspected evidence collection, told the media that a team led by Model Town SP investigations was constituted to arrest those behind the murder.
She vowed that the family of the deceased would be provided justice.
The PTI leaders have strongly condemned the killing of party's founder member Dr Shahid Siddique in Valencia Town.
PTI senior leader Zulfi Bukhari tweeted that he was devastated to learn the assassination of Siddique. 'Getting shot in cold blood after Friday prayers has left us all in absolute shock,' he stated.
Bukhari said Siddique was a loving human being and served PTI and Imran Khan for decades.
Expressing his condolences to the bereaved family, he stated he would be missed.
'My condolences are to my younger brother Qayyum and the entire family. Please have patience and be strong. We are all with you during these tough times,' he said.
Lahore PTI president Chaudhry Asghar Gujjar, in a video message, said the party would be standing with the family of the deceased and ensure that they get justice.

Imran puts onus of apology on army for his detention
New Age Desk 04 August, 2024, 23:35
Imran Khan
Former prime minister Imran Khan has claimed that the army owes an apology to him since he was 'abducted' by the Rangers on May 9, 2023.
The PTI leader's remarks came during a media talk at Adiala Jail where he was asked that the army wants those behind violent protests of May 9 to apologise and whether he would tender an apology.
Khan further said he was arrested by the Rangers, which is headed by a serving major general, from the premises of the Islamabad High Court, reports Dawn.
Since May 7, when ISPR director general Major General Ahmed Sharif said any dialogue with the PTI could happen if the party apologised for its 'politics of anarchy', Khan has repeatedly said he had no reason to apologise.
However, over the past few weeks, Khan has repeatedly expressed his willingness to talk to the army and not with the government.
He reiterated the same position on Saturday when he said he would only hold talks with the 'real authority' as negotiations with the government is 'a futile exercise'.
Talks with the government will be counter-productive as there is an unannounced martial law in the field, he alleged.
He added that talks with 'people in the power corridors' would be within the ambit of the Constitution.
Responding a question that Mahmood Khan Achakzai has declined to become the focal person for proposed talks with the establishment, Khan said the PkMAP leader had been nominated to negotiate with political parties.
Earlier this week, the ex-PM said his party was ready for talks with the military establishment but laid down preconditions: the return of his party's 'stolen mandate', the release of all detained party workers, and the holding of transparent elections.
He had also urged the military to nominate their representatives for talks.
The former PM also said he twice suffered from food poisoning as he had no refrigerator in his cell to preserve the food properly.
Talking about the new Toshakhana reference in which he and his wife are the accused, Khan said the case was a 'clear violation of the National Accountability Ordinance'.
The PTI founder claimed he was still in possession of the Graff watch, which he is accused of selling in the NAB reference.
According to Khan, after a raid at his Banigala residence in March last year, he had moved his valuable possessions to a safer location.
He warned of legal proceedings against the NAB chairman, interior minister and those officers who implicated him in 'false cases'.
Earlier, the accountability court adjourned proceedings in the 190m pounds corruption reference till Aug 7.
Since Khan's counsel was not available, the cross-examination of the investigation officer, Mian Umar, couldn't be completed.
The PTI leader's legal team has filed an application before the judge, Nasir Javed Rana, to allow Khan to call his children.
The court issued notices to the jail administration and adjourned the hearing.

PTI leader Raoof Hasan.
Raoof Saab is almost a dead-ringer for 1970's rock star Ric Ocasek (of "The Cars" fame). Sorry for the off-topic post.
