PESHAWAR (Kashmir English): Amid the political situation following the imposition of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PTI leader and government spokesperson Shafi Jan has also suddenly disappeared from the scene.
After losing the power he had enjoyed in the province for years, Shafi Jan chose to go into hiding rather than face the law. Like other senior party leaders, he is said to be aware that constitutional and legal proceedings against him could be approaching over his past decisions.
To avoid possible legal action and gain public sympathy, Shafi Jan resorted to a self-staged kidnapping narrative.
Before disappearing, reports of an alleged shooting incident in the area and a vehicle left abandoned along the roadside were circulated, creating the impression that he had become the target of an attack or a deep-rooted conspiracy.
According to political experts, such tactics are being used by PTI leaders to evade legal proceedings and portray themselves as victims of political persecution.
