The family of Shahnaz, a woman associated with the banned extremist group Fitna Al Hindustan, has formally severed all ties with her, emphasizing that they have not been in contact for nearly twelve years. This announcement was made during a press conference held at the Turbat Press Club, where her mother Rukhsana, along with her grandfather and maternal uncle, spoke out to clarify their position.
They firmly rejected any connection to Shahnaz’s recent statements, actions, or affiliations, highlighting that she had left for Oman at a very young age and that the family lost all communication with her around twelve years ago. The relatives underscored that they have no involvement in her activities and stressed their identity as law-abiding Pakistani citizens who respect the country’s institutions and legal framework.
In a significant development, the family expressed their full support for governmental efforts to take strict action against individuals engaged in terrorism or activities that threaten the state’s security. Their public disavowal comes amid increased attention on Fitna Al Hindustan, a group accused of inciting violence and unrest within the region.
This declaration not only distances the family from Shahnaz but also reflects the broader societal condemnation of extremist elements. It highlights the challenges faced by authorities in addressing terrorism while families of accused individuals seek to protect their own reputations and affirm their commitment to peace and stability.
