ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub dared the government to arrange a meeting with the party founder Imran Khan if it actually has the power.
Talking to media at Islamabad Judicial Complex, the opposition leader in National Assembly said that the government isn’t allowing the PTI leaders to meet Imran Khan.
“We were told that arranging a meeting with Imran Khan isn’t included in the jail manual,” said Omar Ayub.
He said that PTI only wants formation of judicial commission to probe the events of May 9 and Nov 26 and immediate release of all the political workers.
Earlier, National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq expressed regret over allegations from PTI leaders, defending his role in facilitating talks between the government and opposition.
