Former member of National Assembly Jamshed Dasti has alleged that his house was raided by officials from intelligence agencies and the Counter Terrorism Department where his wife was stripped and children beaten. He has called upon the chief justice of Pakistan to take action.

In a video posted to X, A visibly shaken Dasti, clad in a white shawl, alleged that his family was kept hostage for multiple hours. He said that he had been fighting for nine months but authorities had reached a new extreme.

Dasti said he belonged to worker class and had been elected to the National Assembly four times. He said that he was implicated in a case but had already obtained protective bail.

He alleged the houses of his friends had also been raided and the entire area been kept hostage by 40 vehicles.

He said that the action taken by intelligence and CTD officials was causing him to lose his mind.

The former MP also called on members of his tribe to rise as their honour was being attacked.

Dasti said that he was prepared to die but would fight the people who had raided his house.

Calling on the chief justice, Dasti said with tears that the elections had already become a farce but now people’s houses and families were being attacked.

He added that he would live and die in Pakistan and he no longer cared what happened in the election but the injustice being inflicted that was destroying the country should stop.
