Ammar, the son of Ibad Farooq, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket holder who is currently in custody, has tragically passed away. It is worth noting that Ibad Farooq's arrest is related to his alleged involvement in the violence that occurred on May 9th.
According to information provided, Ammar, a seven-year-old child, had been battling mental illness prior to his untimely death. His funeral is scheduled to take place tonight, marking a sorrowful chapter in this already distressing situation.
In an unsettling twist to the story, there are allegations of an audio message in which Ibad Farooq, the detained PTI ticket holder, claims to have been at Lahore Corps Commander House alongside party figures Yasmeen Rashid, Ijaz Chaudhry, and Mahmood ur Rasheed. In this purported message, Farooq alleges receiving clear instructions from Yasmin Rashid to set the Corps Commander House on fire, while also stating that Ijaz Chaudhry instructed not to relent until the release of the PTI chairman. These allegations add a layer of complexity to the ongoing events.
The circumstances surrounding Ammar's death and the alleged involvement of PTI leaders in provocative actions create a disconcerting backdrop to the larger narrative of political turmoil and unrest in the region.
