ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan announced that PTI would hold the country’s first ever virtual public meeting on Sunday (December 17), which would be addressed by the party leadership.
PTI Secretary General said that PTI social media team was hosting the first virtual public meeting in the history of the country at 9pm on December 17.
Omar Ayub stated that he would be there to address his party workers and countrymen on the occasion.
He expressed his optimism that with the grace of Allah and with the support of the countrymen, PTI Chairman-for-life Imran Khan and PTI would stand victorious on February 8, 2024 general elections.
Meanwhile, PTI Secretary General came down hard on the police unabated crackdown against the PTI workers and leaders for carrying out peaceful political activities when Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had already announced the polls date.
Omar strongly condemned the police actions against PTI workers in Abbottabad. PTI Secretary General said: “Abbottabad Police has been arresting PTI Activists for participating in Workers Conventions. Condemn this in the strongest words possible.”
He recalled that the election date had been announced, political parties had to have political functions, yet only PTI which is Pakistan’s largest political party is prohibited from engaging in political activities. “Is this what a ‘Level Playing Field’ looks like,” he asked. Omar Ayub lamented that the election supervisor only paid lip service to conducting free and fair elections.
PTI Secretary General lashed out at Punjab Police for attacking, raiding and subsequently vandalizing the house of Chaudhry Mehdi Hassan Bhatti, father of PTI former MNA Shaukat Bhatti in Hafizabad.
“Punjab Police entered the premises without warrants, which is condemnable,” he added. Chaudhry Mehdi Hassan Bhatti’s and Shaukat Bhatti’s only crime was that they were standing with PM Imran Khan and PTI. “The raids and vandalism by Punjab Police is terrorism,” Omar stated.
“In the case of Taimur Khan Jhagara ex Finance Minister KP, Islamabad Police has given a written affidavit to the court that the raid on his home was not conducted by them and the people wearing Islamabad Police uniforms were imposters,” he added.
“One of the first manifestations of a failed state emerge when the public is not certain about the authenticity and bonafides of the people wearing a Police uniform,” he added.
