PTI-SIC names Omar Ayub as NA leader of opposition​

The PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) alliance has formally nominated Omar Ayub Khan for the leader of the opposition by submitting his documents to the office of National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.

The nomination papers were submitted by Malik Amir Dogar in the presence of SIC supremo Sahibzada Hamid Raza, MNAs Ali Mohammad Khan, Riaz Fatyana, Dr Nisar Ahmad Jatt and others.

While talking to Dawn, Dr Jatt, who defeated PML-N’s stalwart Rana Sanaullah in general elections, said: “All the members supported by the PTI have signed the nomination papers.

“As per my information, Mehmood Khan Achakzai has also signed the document. However, Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl and Balochistan National Party-Mengal have not signed it.”

By not signing the documents for Ayub’s nomination, the JUI-F and BNP-M will be under no legal obligation to boycott any session of the National Assembly on the call of opposition leader.

Responding to a question, Dr Jatt expressed the hope that Ayub would become the opposition leader in the NA through nomination, instead of election, on March 13 or 14

Pakistan's PTI slams poll body after Senate election delayed in a province

Election for the upper house of parliament in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa delayed by the election commission after row over reserved seats.
Pakistan's main opposition party has condemned a decision by election authorities to delay a vote for seats in the upper house of parliament from a province the party holds, calling it a continuation of "mandate theft" conducted since February's general election.

The elections to fill half of the Senate's 96 seats are held every three years in Pakistan. The members, who have six-year terms, are elected by legislators in the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, and in the four provincial assemblies. The seats in the Senate are determined by the numbers held by different parties in the national and provincial assemblies.

'IK, Qureshi were not allowed to offer Eid prayers'

Zulfiqar Ahmad

ISLAMABAD: "The jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and the ex-foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi were not allowed to offer Eid prayers."

This was stated by the daughter of former foreign minister Qureshi, Meher Bano Qureshi, who said that both Khan and her father were not allowed to offer Eid prayers at Adiala jail.

Former president Dr Arif Alvi, in a series of posts on X, condemned the highhandedness of the jail authorities for not allowing the former prime minister and the foreign minister to offer Eid prayers.

He further said that another party member Ejaz Chaudhary wasn't allowed to do so either but "he led the prayer with Omar Cheema in their cell."

On April 9, Dr Arif Alvi posted that Imran Khan's ban on Eid prayers reminded him of the British rule. He wrote about a famous leader in India's freedom struggle when he was sentenced by the occupying authorities.

He remarked, "He [Indian leader] remained in prison for four years and during that time Eid prayers were not even allowed. Because these oppressive rulers wanted to destroy the leadership of Muslim India, one of the various tactics to weaken their patriotism was to ban Friday and Eid prayers as well."

The Adiala jail could not be reached for comments despite several attempts at his cellphone for comments.

Style ...

When a weak person like Buzdar was made the Chief Minister, there was criticism,
When a tough candidate like Gandapur was made, then there was criticism,
When Barrister Gohar was made a moderate chairman, then there was criticism,
When Sher Afzal Marwat was made Vice President, there was criticism! Khan
Where did you get the angels from?

Fawad may rejoin PTI

Differences within party intensify over PAC top slot

Our Corresondent
April 28, 2024

Former Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry is likely to rejoin the PTI while the internal strife within the party over the chairmanship of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of parliament has intensified, it emerged on Saturday.

According to party sources, PTI founding chairman Imran Khan has given his nod to Fawad's return and they are both expected to meet next week.

They added that Fawad was also likely to be assigned an important responsibility in the PTI. The PTI leadership has also supported the former federal information minister's return to the party.

At the same time, differences within the PTI have escalated over who will head the PAC with party leader Sher Afzal Marwat bashing his fellow Shibli Faraz on the issue.

Marwat has demanded that Shibli should retract his statement.

Earlier in the day, Shibli told the media that the PTI would name its candidate for the PAC top slot in a day or two. He added that the PTI founding chairman had nominated Marwat for the position but changed his mind after the National

Assembly speaker's office raised an objection over his name.

The PTI leader continued that Imran had now nominated Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) chief Sahibzada Hamid Raza for the slot.

"The PAC chairman should be from Punjab," he added.

Shibli blamed the NA speaker for creating the confusion.

However, Marwat insisted that the the PTI founding chairman had nominated him for the PAC chairman's position.
"He [Imran] has frequently mentioned me as his candidate for the slot," said.

He added that if Shibli had said that the PTI founding chairman had nominated the SIC chief for the PAC chairmanship, it was his own desire, not that of Imran.

Marwat accused Shibli of misrepresenting the PTI founding chairman, claiming that Imran had never nominated Raza for the PAC chairmanship.
