Islamabad: PTI leaders have condemned the arrest of Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh, calling it part of a “system of injustice” perpetrated by the “so-called” democratic government, Dawn reported on Thursday.
Sheikh was arrested and taken into custody by officials of the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Jamshoro on Wednesday in connection with a land transaction in Malir.
He was later brought to Karachi and shifted to Aziz Bhatti police station.
PTI secretary general Asad Umar called the government “worst tyrants possible” in a tweet.
Former minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the actions of the Sindh government showed a “clear picture” of fascism where even journalists speaking the truth were being killed.
Former Sindh governor Imran Ismail called Sheikh’s arrest a sign of “indolence” on the part of the provincial government.
“Repeated arrests of Haleem Adil show that the rulers of Sindh are scared,” he stated, adding that the opposition leader was PTI’s valiant soldier.
