PTI’s negotiating committee focus on rule of law agenda, says Umar Ayub

HARIPUR
Umar Ayub Khan, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and a central figure in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has stated that PTI’s negotiating committee is focused on a singular agenda—the establishment of the rule of law in the country.
Speaking at a ceremony to congratulate newly elected Cabinet President Hanif Akhtar Khan, General Secretary Malik Muhammad Iqbal, and other cabinet members at Haripur Press Club, Ayub declared 2025 as the “year of change,” asserting that the current weak government cannot alter PTI’s momentum.
He also highlighted the dire economic situation, warning that the country’s economic challenges will worsen, including an impending increase in electricity prices.
Ayub accused the incumbent government of worsening the country’s financial crisis, claiming that it had imposed restrictions on free media and engaged in costly contracts that primarily benefited the ruling party.
Ayub pointed to PTI’s significant achievements, including the establishment of Al-Qader University, aimed at promoting Islamic education and research on the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He also questioned the source of funds for the London property purchased by Hasan Nawaz, the son of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and demanded transparency regarding the money transfer from Pakistan.
Furthermore, Ayub criticized former Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa, accusing him of complicity in the case against Imran Khan. He alleged that a businessman had transferred money to the account of the Supreme Court at Isa’s behest, suggesting that further investigation into these financial transactions would expose the truth.
Other political and social figures present at the event included PTI leaders Zulfikar Khan, Allahyar Khan, Deputy Advocate General Shoaib Khan, and Advocate Sajid Khan.
