More than a week after he was taken, PTI leader Azhar Mashwani went home on Friday, he said on Twitter.
“Alhamdullilah, I am back home safe and sound,” Mashwani wrote on Twitter. “We will always be grateful for your prayers, hard work, and support during these eight days.”
Mashwani also prayed for other “captive workers”. That would soon be able to go home and break their fasts with their families.
Fawad Chaudhry, the senior vice president of the PTI, told Dawn.com that Mashwani had gone back home.
The LHC told the FIA yesterday to find Mashwani and bring him back to court on April 3. Mazharul Hassan, Mashwani’s brother, had filed a habeas corpus petition, and Justice Aalia Neelum gave the order.
On the same day, the PTI’s Insaf Youth Wing called for a protest all over the country. That was to demand that Mashwani be freed and brought to court right away.
He was arrested last week. That is supposedly because he had said that the Punjab police and the caretaker government were being too harsh with party workers.
Mashwani used to be in charge of digital media in Punjab. When he was arrested, Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI, said, “Enough is enough” and said that the authorities had kidnapped the party member.
The FIR said that Mashwani was last seen in a taxi outside of his house on March 23. He was going to Zaman Park. But after a while, his cell phone was turned off, so his family and friends couldn’t get in touch with him.
His brother said that some people he didn’t know took him and took him to a place he didn’t know about.
