Omar Ayub warns bureaucracy will have to seek apology from Imran when he becomes PM

ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Friday urged the Supreme Court and high courts to restore their writ, by ensuring implementation of their orders.

Talking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court here, he said that they are not being allowed to meet their leader, Imran Khan, in gross violation of the Constitution and law and the courts have failed to implement their order. “The chief justices of the Supreme and High Courts should restore their writ.”

“The officer sitting in Adiala jail says that we are unknown people,” the leader of the opposition, who is also a senior PTI leader, contended. Criticising the bureaucracy, he said that the bureaucracy should remember that when the PTI founder becomes the prime minister again, they will have to go and apologise to him.

Ayub recalled that a three-member bench of the Islamabad High Court had given the decision allowing their meeting with the party founder. “We, Imran Khan’s associates, have been denied a meeting with our leader for the past three months.”

Talking to the media at the Islamabad High Court, Imran’s sister Aleema Khan said the jail staff does not understand the order of Chief Justice and that “it is not us but the court that is being insulted”. Shibli Faraz deplored the state of affairs and insisted that it was the constitutional duty of judges to get their orders implemented.
