Two social media activists of former prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Naeem Ahmad Yasin and Arsalan Akbar, and vlogger-comedian Aun Ali Khosa, have allegedly been arrested by intelligence agencies in the Punjab province of Pakistan. They have been reported “missing” by their families. The Shehbaz Sharif government and the establishment have been facing scathing criticism on social media for “abducting” Khosa for singing a parody song on soaring electricity bills.
Days before his abduction, Khosa had sung a song “Bill Bill Pakistan”, a parody of the famous Pakistani song “Dil Dil Pakistan” and released a video on social media criticising the high prices of electricity and extra taxes added to it. Khosa also took on the worthlessness of the Pakistani passport and the cash-strapped country’s loans. The comedian has a following of 1,37,000 on YouTube.
