ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Hammad Azhar, who has served as Pakistan's finance and energy minister, says police and plain-clothed officials have burst into his home six times in recent weeks, smashed his belongings and threatened his 82-year-old father, warning that his daughter would be abducted.
Azhar, who is in hiding, says he is under pressure from a "fascist regime" to leave the political party of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
"All this is being done because I continue to stand with my party and Imran Khan," he told Reuters by telephone.
