Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan, has reiterated his conditions for engaging in dialogue with the government, demanding the release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers, including party founder Imran Khan.

During his address to the National Assembly, Ayub responded to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s call for dialogue, stating, “The environment for dialogue will improve when my Prime Minister is released. The dialogue will happen when my prisoners are freed.”

He further emphasized the need for respect, stating, “This house can only function when our respect is acknowledged.”

Ayub demanded the release of PTI leaders and workers who have been arrested or detained, including Yasmin Rashid and Mahmoud Rashid, accusing the government of mistreatment.

He also highlighted the case of Hassan Niazi, arguing that the government’s actions against him constitute an injustice.
