Former President Arif Alvi Supports Imran Khan’s Post on Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

Key Highlights:

1. Former President Arif Alvi defends Imran Khan’s controversial post on Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
2. PTI demands the public release of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission (HRC) Report.
3. FIA investigates Imran Khan for alleged anti-state propaganda on social media.

Former President Arif Alvi has expressed support for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s contentious post regarding Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, shared on Khan’s X account. According to ARY News, Alvi asserted that Khan’s suggestion to read the Hamoodur Rahman Commission (HRC) Report should not be deemed treasonous.

The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report, an inquiry into Pakistan’s defeat in the 1971 war leading to Bangladesh’s creation, has long been a sensitive topic. Alvi criticized the practice of labeling someone a traitor for recommending the report, praising Hamoodur Rahman as an “honest judge” and noting his son’s current role in the Federal Shariat Court.

Speaking at a lawyers’ convention, Alvi underscored the necessity for stakeholders to collaborate in resolving national issues, suggesting that problems would persist otherwise. He also called for the release of Imran Khan and the restoration of his mandate. PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan supported these sentiments, advocating for a leader who can effectively represent Pakistan’s interests on international platforms, similar to Imran Khan’s efforts.

PTI has demanded the public release of the HRC Report and rejected the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) probe into Khan’s post about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The party stressed the importance of transparency and condemned the FIA’s actions as a pretext to file new charges against Khan.

The FIA’s Cybercrime Cell, in a letter to authorities, requested access to the incarcerated PTI founder to investigate the ‘controversial’ post from his X account. The letter highlighted allegations of anti-state propaganda disseminated through Khan’s social media, specifically targeting state institutions like the Pakistan Army. The FIA labeled the video, posted on May 26, as a violation of the PICA Act 2016, claiming it aimed to distort facts, incite rebellion among military personnel, and create unrest within state institutions. The agency seeks further investigation into the matter, as reported by ARY News.
