Police raid Omar Ayub’s house to arrest him

ISLAMABAD: Police raided the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan in Islamabad on Sunday.

The raid was conducted jointly by the Mianwali and Islamabad police. However, Omar Ayub was not at home during the raid.

The police entered his house in Sector F-10 and conducted a search operation after the Sargodha anti-terrorism court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for him.

Reacting to the raid, Omar Ayub stated that the federal and provincial governments are trying to arrest him. He asserted that the struggle for the party’s rights will continue until the PTI chairman becomes the prime minister.

It is important to note that the PTI parliamentary party rejected the resignation submitted by Omar Ayub Khan.

The parliamentary body passed a resolution rejecting the NA opposition leader’s resignation as PTI Secretary General and paid tribute to him for managing the party’s affairs during challenging times.

Omar Ayub had resigned from his position in the party on Thursday night. He announced his resignation through a post on X and wrote a letter to the party’s founder, Imran Khan, announcing his resignation as PTI Secretary-General.

He expressed gratitude to the founder of PTI for accepting his resignation. Omar Ayub mentioned that he submitted his resignation on June 22 to the party Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, and Shibli Faraz conveyed his message to the PTI founder in jail.
