As members of the global Pakistani diaspora, we view with profound concern the institutional precedent unfolding at One Constitution Avenue in Islamabad. The Capital Development Authority’s action has created a deeply troubling environment for overseas Pakistani investors who acted in good faith, dedicating their hard-earned foreign assets to the development of our homeland.
Governance requires a clear separation between corporate regulatory compliance and the preservation of third-party property rights. A contractual or financial dispute between a state regulator and a private developer must never serve as the legal mechanism to divest innocent, bona fide buyers of their rightfully acquired ownership.
We collectively call upon the Government of Pakistan to give third-party owners their title deeds. Allowing innocent investors to bear the liabilities of corporate defaults risks inflicting far-reaching, structural damage on international investor confidence. Preserving diaspora trust is a strategic necessity for Pakistan’s economic future, and it demands the immediate safeguarding of these legitimate investments. 🇵🇰

This is the real face of OCA. People like her have added to Pakistan’s economy by brining remittances @AbsarAlamHaider @HamidMirPAK @CMShehbaz @OfficialDGISPR @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL

Ordering decent hard working families living and investing hard-earned money in Pakistan. Those attempting to turn this into a class war are #traitors to Pakistan. Salute to the Pakistani fueling Pakistan’s economy @PakPMO @OfficialDGISPR #notoclasswar

[Affan Aijaz @affan004]

Very well explained. People are focused on just some prominent figures who own aparts in these towers. There are ordinary people esp overseas Pakistanis who also invested. Govt needs to protect the FDI.

Thank you PM Shehbaz Sharif for your timely intervention! Forced and inhumane eviction of investors and owners at OCA is a major blow to investor trust. Without due process and protected property rights, FDI will collapse. This is a matter of national economic security @PakPMO

[Affan Aijaz @affan004]

@CMShehbaz ppl have invested thr hard earned money in this project and due to the utter negligence by CDA throughout these years the owners should not be punished. Pls hv some mercy on the common people so they can still hv faith in this country. A request from a common Pakistani

I rent at One Constitution Avenue. At 1 AM last night, I was jolted awake by heavy banging on the door. My first panicked thought: thieves. Instead, I was greeted by 50 heavily armored police officers — rude, aggressive, and clearly ready to beat us into submission if we resisted. They gave us no reason. Pretended it was for security as in recent times when peace negotiations were being held.

No court order shown. No documents. No explanation.

Just “vacate by 12 noon today.” Only later did I learn this midnight raid had a court’s blessing. Why am I not surprised? This is Pakistan’s “protocol court” justice at its finest.

The building has been in dispute for 20 years. During that entire farce, the CDA — the regulator that slept for years while the building was constructed and apartments sold

There’s even suspicion it was complicit.

Any reasonable judge would have treated the CDA as guilty if at a minimum negligence.

A regulator that was asleep (or worse) should not now be allowed to benefit. Apartment sales were formally recognized by the CDA and previous judges — so why suddenly reverse everything in CDA’s favor? The building ownership I am told is being transferred to CDA

What court in the world authorises 50 armed goons to storm a residential building at 1 AM, trampling individual property and tenancy rights with zero notice?

As I wrote in my latest Substack on judicial/bureaucratic over-reach: courts should appoint professional receivership instead of handing assets back to the same failed bureaucracy. “Development rights can be re-auctioned” in an open market — not gifted to the CDA. The building could easily have been placed in receivership, demising rights sold via transparent auction, value preserved, and residents protected.

But obviously our judges don’t know enough economics or real law. This is what serious law — what I call ELEVATE justice — would require.

I called journalists. No TV, no radio.

Who needs this judiciary? Uneducated protocol seekers in robes, quick to destroy value after it’s created, while shielding the real culprits. Is this judgment even lawful? And even if eviction were technically possible, does it have to be this thuggish and inhumane?

This isn’t justice. It’s asset assassination by judicial decree.

Since a “farcical” vote of no confidence in 2022, @ImranKhanPTI argues in a guest essay that Pakistan’s establishment “is not prepared to provide any playing field at all, let alone a level one” for his party https://t.co/sL5n7V3XqQ
