ARY News anchor Arshad Sharif has reportedly flown to Dubai this morning from Peshawar airport.
Earlier, ARY senior news head Ammad Yousaf was arrested from his residence.
Meanwhile, PTI Secretary General Asad Umar said that shutting down ARY and arrest of senior vice president Ammad Yousaf is pure fascism. In the beginning, there was a repression of politicians. The media is now being muzzled by force. What is next? “The courts?”
Other PTI members also condemned the arrest of Ammad Yousaf as “pure fascism.”
Ammad Yousaf was arrested without a warrant from his residence located in Karachi’s DHA.
Police officers along with plain-clothed persons forcibly entered the house of Ammad Yousaf. The raiding party redirected Yousaf’s surveillance cameras and entered the home via the roof.
In addition to the CCTV cameras and DVR, the raiding team also removed the legally owned firearms.
