KARACHI: Activist and independent politician Jibran Nasir got into an argument with Dr Awab Alvi of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) late on Friday after the PTI announced  a campaign to demolish a wall outside Bilawal House in Karachi.

The towering wall which cordons off Bilawal House has been criticised for hampering life in the area. The campaign's official page states this wall was declared illegal by the Sindh High Court in September this year and the demolition campaign is scheduled for Sunday.

Soon after PTI made the announcement, Jibran Nasir shared his criticisms of the campaign on social media.

Jibran wrote a note on Facebook, which stated that he was "disappointed in PTI." He drew a comparison between the barricade and Awab Alvi's new dental clinic, which he alleges is being constructed illegally in a residential area.

He went on to say that if PTI is a party that "strives for justice" they should be fair and demolish the clinic as well. Awab Alvi tweeted back at Jibran Nasir but did not directly respond to the allegations.





In response, PTI MNA Dr Arif Alvi, who is also Awab Alvi's father, wrote on his Facebook page, "I am surprised by the reaction of our opponents. Are they defending a court declared illegal nuisance? Some are ready to die for it? Whats [sic] wrong?"

Someone should also shed light on how FCPS trainees are treated in Dr. Alvi's Clinic

There are road blocks everywhere in Karachi - Go to an area where a political person or a significant police officer lives, you will find a road block. Now who is going to question them and force them to remove these roads that belong to the public of Pakistan and residents of that city!
