On one side, Nawaz Sharif talks about refraining from certainty regarding political revenge, while on the other, Nawaz Sharif’s daughter has exemplified the worst conduct in Punjab. PTI leader Yasmin Rashid, in her letter from jail, reveals that PTI’s female activists, Sanam Javed and Alia Hamza, have each been arrested ten times. These women are being shuffled between jails in Punjab— if this isn’t political vendetta, then what is?
Under Sharif’s influence
Under Sharif’s influence, Punjab Police have become captives at his residence. In her letter, Yasmin Rashid notes that they sent Mian Mahmood-ul-Rashid, a six-time minister, back to jail without providing him the necessary medical treatment. The re-arrest of Amjad Niazi upon his release and filing FIRs against hundreds of workers in Sahiwal are further instances of vindictiveness. The budgetary measures have severely strained the public’s livelihoods; this, too, appears to be political retaliation against the populace.

The problem of political victimization and abuse of power goes beyond individual cases into wider systemic issues. PTI leadership consistently raised these as examples of the current government’s authoritarianism. And disrespect for due process or democratic norms. Repeated arrests followed by legal maneuvers against opposition leaders and workers. Indicate an alarming trend toward curbing dissent through coercive means and consolidating power.

The ongoing controversies reveal how difficult it is for Pakistan’s democratic institutions to ensure fairness, justice, and accountability in governance. These events should, therefore. Serve as important reminders about the need to uphold democratic principles and protect basic rights. Within any functional democracy as they unfold.
