Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former federal minister Hammad Azhar has decided to surrender and appear before the court after remaining in hiding for more than two years, party sources confirmed.
The decision comes shortly after the passing of his father, veteran politician and former minister Mian Muhammad Azhar. According to sources, Hammad Azhar has concluded consultations with close aides and has called in his legal team for final discussions. He is expected to appear in court soon and seek bail in multiple cases registered against him.
Azhar has been under legal pressure since the crackdown on PTI leaders began following the May 9, 2023 incidents. Reports indicate that more than 70 cases have been filed against him in connection with various political developments.
Hammad Breaks Silence
In a rare public statement, Azhar broke his silence through an emotional message on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), expressing grief over his father’s death and explaining his decision to surrender.
“I am the only son of my parents, the brother of three sisters, and the father of two minor children,” he wrote. “For more than two years, my family endured more pain and suffering than I did. I now want to be with them, especially my mother, in this hour of sorrow.”
Maintaining his innocence, Azhar claimed he has been falsely implicated through fabricated cases and vowed to seek justice through legal means.
“I will approach the court and seek justice. If justice is given, I will thank Allah, and if not, I will endure more oppression. Undoubtedly, Allah is the supporter of the patient,” he stated.
