CDA sealed Azam Swati’s Islamabad farmhouse

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has sealed the farmhouse of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Khan Swati in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad area.
The CDA officials said that the property was sealed for violating house-building laws.
The CDA building control department had sent a notice to Azam Swati’s wife last month.
The notice stated that two basements, ground floor and guard room were constructed illegally on the occupied space in the farmhouse.
Earlier a day, Sindh police took Azam Swati into custody from Quetta. The PTI leader will be shifted to Sindh where two cases were registered against him.
Taking to twitter, PTI leader Qasim Khan Suri also confirmed the development denouncing the Sindh government’s action “regretful” in the wake of the BHC’s order favouring the senator.
On the other hand, the Balochistan High Court (BHC) has ordered to quash all five first information reports (FIR) registered against PTI Senator Azam Swati for his controversial tweets against senior military officers.
Earlier on December 6, the Balochistan High Court had ordered not to register any more cases against Azam Swati in the province.
It should be noted that on December 4, the Quetta’s local court handed over Senator Azam Swati, who was arrested in the case of the controversial tweet against top military brass, to the police on a 5-day physical remand.
On December 2, Senator Azam Swati was taken into custody by the Quetta Police from Islamabad and transferred to Balochistan, while a day before that, the District and Sessions Court of Islamabad had ordered to send him to jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
Background:
On November 27, PTI Senator Azam Khan Swati was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for his controversial tweets against senior military officials.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered by the FIA on the complaint of the state through Islamabad Cyber Crime Reporting Centre (CCRC) Technical Assistant Aneesur Rehman.
The complaint was registered under Section 20 of the Prevention of Electronic Crime Act 2016 (Peca) which deals with offences against dignity of a person as well as Sections 131 (abetting mutiny or attempting to seduce a soldier from his duty),500 (punishment for defamation), 501 (defamation and printing of content deemed defamatory), Section 505 (statement conducing to public mischief) and 109 (abetment) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
The FIR reads: “Swati and three other Twitter accounts with malafide intentions and ulterior motives, started a highly obnoxious campaign of intimidating tweets […] against state institutions and senior government functionaries, including outgoing army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa”
The FIR added that such “intimidating tweets of blaming and naming” were a “mischievous act of subversion to create a rift between personnel of armed forces to harm the state of Pakistan”.
