PTI Leader Omar Ayub Demands Action Against IG Punjab and Interior Secretary
Islamabad: Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub has once again taken a strong stance against the government and its institutions by
demanding the dismissal of the Inspector General (IG) of Punjab, IG Prisons, and the Interior Secretary. He alleges that these top officials are involved in illegal detentions, which are a clear violation of the Constitution and laws of Pakistan.
Allegations of Illegal Detentions
Omar Ayub claims that in recent days, several PTI members and supporters have been unlawfully detained across various cities in Punjab. He alleges that law enforcement agencies, under the pressure of the government, are targeting PTI members as part of a political vendetta. Ayub emphasized that detaining any citizen without a proper warrant is unconstitutional, yet this principle is being blatantly ignored by the authorities in Punjab.
Violation of Fundamental Rights
Speaking to the media, Ayub criticized law enforcement agencies for continuously infringing on the basic rights of citizens in Punjab. He warned that if the government and its institutions do not cease these unlawful actions, PTI would be compelled to initiate a mass protest movement. He stressed that the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees every citizen the right to live freely, but recent actions have instilled fear among the populace.
Hinting at Legal Action
PTI Leader Omar Ayub Demands Action Against IG Punjab and Interior Secretary
Omar Ayub indicated that if the government does not respond to their demands, PTI would not hesitate to take the matter to court. He expressed confidence that despite the challenges facing the judiciary, the courts will uphold justice. He further reiterated that PTI would utilize every possible legal avenue to protect the rights of its members.
Sharp Criticism of the Government
Omar Ayub did not hold back in criticizing the current government, accusing it of disregarding the fundamental principles of democracy and the Constitution. He claimed that the government's actions against PTI are purely driven by political revenge and suggested that the ruling party, having lost public support, is resorting to such measures out of desperation.
In his statement, Omar Ayub put forward the following demands to the government:
1. Immediate dismissal of IG Punjab, IG Prisons, and the Interior Secretary.
2. An end to the illegal detention of PTI members.
3. Immediate release of all detained PTI workers and the withdrawal of all charges against them.
4. Strict action against officials involved in unlawful practices.
Conclusion
Omar Ayub’s statements have further intensified the already heated political climate in Pakistan. As of now, there has been no official response from the government regarding his demands. However, it remains to be seen how the authorities will react to these allegations and whether they will concede to any of the demands put forth by PTI.
With the political temperature rising in the country, the coming days are likely to bring significant developments. Omar Ayub’s demands and PTI's potential protest strategy will be crucial in shaping the government’s next moves and determining whether the political tensions will escalate further.
