Outrage in Pakistan after journalist critical of military shot
21.04.2021
Pakistani journalist Absar Alam, famous for his blunt criticism of the country s powerful military, has been shot and wounded, triggering calls for investigations and condemnation.
A gunmen shot the journalist in the ribs on Tuesday night outside his home in the capital Islamabad, his family and friends said. The attack comes days after Alam s tweet highlighting how the country s current spy chief General Faiz Hameed backed violent protests by a radical, pro-blasphemy group in 2017.
Alam, who at the time served as head of country s electronic media regulator, said General Hameed tried to intimidate him when he blocked a television channel for glorifying the violent protests by Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP).

The banning of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) by the Imran Khan government last week has added one more chapter to Pakistan’s complicated relations with Islamist politics. The organisation started by the late Khadim Hussain Rizvi often drew attention because of the controversial remarks made by its founder on social media and TV. In recent years, Pakistan saw a surge in the TLP’s activities, thanks to global developments and local opportunities.
