Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan of the PTI has reiterated the determination that he will lead his convoy to Islamabad as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests gain momentum.
Speaking during a stop in Haripur, he expressed confidence in the convoy's progress, stating, "We will reach Islamabad in any case, Insha Allah."
Omar Ayub confirmed that his convoy was advancing toward the capital and will soon join Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur's convoy.
Rejecting any possibility of negotiations, Ayub dismissed dialogue with the current government, asserting, "We will not hold any talks with the Form 47 government," claiming that this government could not take a single step on its own.
On the other hand, authorities have registered multiple cases and made arrests in connection with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rallies, citing violations of Section 144, which prohibits public gatherings in the affected areas.
