 PPP requests DG ISI to have Khanewal drone incident probed

ISLAMABAD—The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has requested DG ISI Lt General Nadeem Anjum to have the incident of a drone camera of a private TV channel hitting Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari investigated.

Aseefa, the younger daughter of former president Asif Ali Zardari, was injured by the drone that struck her during PPP's long march at Khanewal.

PPP Secretary General Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari requested the probe through a letter.

According to the letter, when the long march reached Khanewal on March 4, the drone camera of a local TV channel flew suspiciously into PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's truck and targeted his sister Aseefa, injuring her substantially.

"Ms Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari was immediately taken for medical attention and the matter was reported at the Khanewal Police Station. Given your organisation's considerable expertise in investigation, we request that you look into the incident and uncover the facts," the letter stated.

The letter stated that the PPP had taken this attack on Ms. Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari seriously and is looking towards ISI to investigate the matter thoroughly.
