Opposition leader Omar Ayub says there is no hybrid system in the constitution and strongly criticized the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for serving him a call-up notice in the party founder Imran Khan’s controversial tweet case.
He said that every member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is a patriot who supports the supremacy of the constitution and the law. He stressed that they stand by the PTI founder.
Speaking in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan called for journalists’ cameras to be allowed in the press gallery, stressing that this is a public assembly and they must be transparent to the public.
Omar Ayub also advocated for allowing YouTubers access to the National Assembly and insisted that the interior minister should be present. He condemned the conditions of the prison cell provided to the PTI founder in Adiala Jail, noting that it is less than 15 feet in space.
He slammed the probe agency’s notices to him and other PTI leaders — including the party’s Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Central Information Secretary RaoofHasan — in the controversial X post case.
Auyb stressed that the parliamentarians were part of the state as per the Constitution. “Parliament is superior than to any other institutions in the country.” PTI founder “joins” controversial X post probe after FIA team visits Adiala Jail for third time. The politico questioned higher authorities about the jurisdiction of a probe agency’s sub-inspector which allowed him to issue a call-up notice to the parliamentarians.
He demanded the House summon the FIA’s director general to question his jurisdiction and also about the language which was used in the call-up notice. Ayub said that he and several other PTI leaders were booked in terrorism cases in Sargodha. He alleged that “aliens” were involved in the disappearances of party workers whenever they came out of jail. He slammed that association with the Imran-founded party was seemingly becoming a crime in the country while there was no law in place which could stop such illegal activities.
