Privilege motions seek an inquiry into an alleged visit by armed men to two family homes in Quetta’s Samungli Housing Scheme.

ISLAMABAD: Senator Kamran Murtaza and MNA Aliya Kamran have moved privilege motions in Parliament seeking an investigation into an alleged incident in which around 40 armed men visited two family homes in Quetta’s Samungli Housing Scheme, kicked doors, photographed the properties and harassed women and children.

The motions relate to an incident reported on November 4, 2026. The parliamentarians have asked who sent the visitors, whether they were government or law enforcement personnel, and what legal authority they had to approach or enter the residential premises.

In her privilege motion submitted to the National Assembly, Aliya Kamran, MNA from NA-326, said the incident directly affected her fundamental rights and her privileges as an elected member of Parliament. She alleged that the episode was linked to political differences with the government and described it as an attempt to intimidate and harass her.

According to the account given in the motions, around 40 people went to House D-70, described as a private residence in the Samungli Housing Scheme. They allegedly kicked the main gate, climbed the boundary walls and took photographs of the property. Photographs were also reportedly taken of the electricity meter outside the house.

The noise brought neighbours out of their homes. Some students in the area allegedly tried to record the visitors on their mobile phones but were stopped from making videos.

The group later reportedly went to another family home, House D-22, in the same housing scheme. The motions allege that people accompanying police personnel kicked the doors and caused fear among family members, including women and children.

Senator Kamran Murtaza’s motion also refers to the alleged visit to the two houses. It states that when family members asked the personnel to identify themselves, they refused to give their names or show identification. They reportedly said they had come on the instructions of law enforcement agencies.

Aliya Kamran’s motion states that the visitors could not establish their identities or present any legal reason or permission for entering the residential premises. She said the incident caused fear, distress and insecurity.

The account also says that Aliya Kamran’s younger brother, Adnan, was present at the family home along with women and children. He allegedly asked the visitors to identify themselves, but they did not provide the requested details. The group reportedly left after a large number of people gathered.

In her motion, Aliya Kamran referred to Articles 9, 14 and 15 of the Constitution, which deal with security, human dignity and freedom of movement. She argued that any attempt to intimidate an elected representative because of her political views would also affect Parliament’s independence and the ability of its members to perform their duties freely.

She asked the National Assembly Speaker to accept the motion, refer it to the Assembly’s Privileges Committee and seek an explanation from the relevant authorities. She wants the committee to establish who the visitors were, under whose authority they went to the houses and what legal grounds supported their actions. She also sought steps to protect her family’s safety and the privacy of their homes.

Senator Kamran Murtaza has separately sought action through the Senate, asking that his privilege motion be referred to the relevant committee so the incident can be examined and a report presented to the House.
