A delegation from the Islamabad Victims Alliance visited senior journalist and analyst Hassan Ayub at his residence to thank him for his persistent and principled reporting on injustices faced by property owners in the capital. Members of the Alliance paid tribute to his fearless coverage and for keeping the Islamabad victims’ concerns in the public eye.
Through his vlogs and journalistic interventions, Hassan Ayub highlighted how the Capital Development Authority gave the Prime Minister a briefing that did not reflect the ground realities, leaving Islamabad owners deprived of their constitutional and legal rights. His impartial reporting played a decisive role in taking the Islamabad victims’ case to the corridors of power.
Alongside Hassan Ayub, focal person for the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme Syed Zeeshan Ali Naqvi compiled and transmitted full details of the ground situation and alleged CDA excesses to Dr. Tauqeer Shah. Dr. Tauqeer Shah then conveyed the matter to Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, who took swift notice after receiving factual briefings from the parties involved.
Following these developments, the Prime Minister ordered that the planned Jinnah Medical Complex and Daanish University projects be moved away from Sector H-16, a decision the Alliance described as historic and rooted in justice for Islamabad victims. The relocation order was welcomed as a concrete step toward restoring the rights of the city’s rightful owners.
The Islamabad Victims Alliance expressed deep gratitude to Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Dr. Tauqeer Shah, Hassan Ayub and Syed Zeeshan Ali Naqvi for their roles in addressing long-standing grievances. The Alliance reiterated its commitment to continue a peaceful, constitutional and lawful struggle to protect property rights, and Hassan Ayub assured members that he will keep raising the Islamabad victims’ issues in higher forums.
