Shame on PTI MNA. He should have at least showed up at the spot to get some humane treatment for these poor people instead of blabbering on TV.

Hahaha...PMLN has done this...dear.....dont make fool us..
Asad Umer already raised his voice..
Yeah, the Govt will do ugly things but what about public reps. Are they for talk shows only. As an MNA, this Asad guy should have gone to the site or is he a rep of the wealthy only or are the kachi abadis below his vaunted stature. He should have demanded that these people not be evicted before Jamia Hifza vacates its illegal qabza on CDA property.
Yeh Pakistani hain ya Afghani ?
Chairman PTI’s statement on CDA action against I-11 Katchi Abadi (July 31, 2015
Chairman PTI, Imran Khan today expressed shock at the brutal and violent manner in which the CDA bulldozed the I 11 Katchi Abadi in Islamabad, leaving the poor families shelterless at nature’s mercy. Khan said the violent action against the katchi abadi dwellers showed how the PMLN government is becoming increasingly fascistic. He stated that issues of occupation and security notwithstanding, the government simply cannot destroy poor people’s homes and their belongings, meagre as they are, through the use of brute force. If there are criminal elements in an area, arrests and legal proceedings are required, not destruction of a whole community’s homes and belongings. He reminded that Article 38, specifically 38:d, of the Constitution states categorically that the state shall provide basic necessities of life including housing to all citizens.
Despite this, Khan regretted that successive status quo governments have never moved to begin fulfilling this commitment and have always targeted the poor and powerless citizens while giving protection to Qabza groups and the elite who regularly occupy state land, including park and forest land. No action is ever taken against these elite land grabbers and qabza mafias as all the traditional status quo parties have close affiliations with these groups.
Khan said that only the poor suffer the wrath of state power and this was reflected once again in the action taken against the poor residents of the I 11 katchi abadi in Islamabad. It was the duty of the government to first provide alternate housing for these poor families and move them safely to these with their belongings. Instead the government showed their complete disregard for any humane considerations and bulldozed the homes with the belongings of these people and took many of these hapless people in custody, injuring some along the way including women and children.
Chairman PTI asked why the qabza elite in Islamabad has seen no reclamation action with bulldozers despite the fact that they have occupied state land, including park and farmland, overtly with no respect for the law. “Why is there no action against the looters of national wealth who have amassed properties abroad and maintain huge foreign bank deposits with their ill-gotten gains?” Khan asserted. “These people are the real qabza mafias who have robbed the nation of its wealth.”
“Our ruling elite are devoid of even an iota of humanity and empathy for the poor and dispossessed citizens”, Khan declared.
Khan demanded that there should be a uniform katchi abadi policy across the country and this should be formulated and implemented on an emergency basis. The Chairman PTI committed to the nation that when PTI comes to power it will reclaim state land from the qabza mafias and ensure housing for the poor so that no citizen is left homeless.

Yeah, nice rhetoric but why did he wait until the people were already evicted. Why could that stupid MNA not make a dharna on site. PTI comes into action only when some elite could run into inconvenience.
