LAHORE: Opposition Leader of the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan has stated that 2024 is an election year, and there is no deal being negotiated with anyone.
Speaking to the media during his appearance at the Anti-Terrorism Court, Omar Ayub said that politicians should engage in politics according to the constitution, and according to Article 7 of the constitution, the state is the Majlis-e-Shura.
He criticized that the PML-N and PPP are creating a rift between the public and the military. He emphasized that the Election Commission should remain independent. He added that this year is crucial for elections, and only a strong prime minister can steer the country out of this turmoil.
“The current “Form 47 government” cannot achieve anything,” he said.
Omar Ayub also pointed out that the price of electricity has increased by 2.5 rupees per unit, questioning how individuals with salaries of 20,000 or 25,000 rupees can manage to pay the electricity bills.
