Arrest Warrants Issued for Omar Ayub by ATC Sargodha

Islamabad: In a significant development, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Sargodha has issued arrest warrants for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Omar Ayub, escalating legal tensions surrounding the party’s leadership.

Omar Ayub, also the Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, confirmed the issuance of bailable arrest warrants, criticizing authorities for what he termed as a “desperate” attempt to apprehend him. He voiced his response after police teams reportedly attempted to execute the warrants at his residence in Islamabad.

Amid PTI’s sustained protests and legal challenges since losing power in April 2022, tensions escalated on May 9 when party workers allegedly vandalized state installations following the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan in a corruption case. This incident led to further arrests and departures from the party.

 

PTI leaders maintain that the charges against their members are unfounded, accusing the government of political victimization. They vow to continue their struggle until the reinstatement of Imran Khan’s leadership.
