Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub demanded an impartial investigation into the May 9 incident and release of PTI prisoners. Addressing the National Assembly meeting after the first meeting, Ayub emphasized the need for justice, saying president Imran Khan, vice president Shah Mohammed Qureshi and other leaders were unjustly imprisoned as political prisoners. He also said that there should be enough space for Bushra Bibi. Ayub denied PTI’s involvement in the May 9 incident, instead criticizing the illegal actions of the caretaker government in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He claimed large number of arrests of PTI supporters and demanded fair investigation of the matter, demanding accountability under Article 6 of the Constitution. Ayub expressed his dissatisfaction with the broadcast of his speech on state television and criticized the delay in broadcasting despite the instruction of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to broadcast the speech in the media.
