PTI accuses govt of ‘pressuring’ NA members to refrain from signing PTI affiliation oath

ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader Omar Ayub has accused the government of exerting pressure through administration officials to prevent their members of the national and provincial assemblies from signing affiliation oaths with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

In a statement shared on the social media platform X on Sunday, a PTI spokesperson expressed concern that commissioners from various divisions in Punjab are allegedly contacting their party’s lawmakers at the national and provincial levels, pressuring them not to sign oaths of affiliation with PTI.

“They are being lured by offers from Shahbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz’s ministries and other temptations, claiming to have names and evidence of these commissioners,” the PTI spokesperson stated.

Omar Ayub emphasised that this serves as a clear warning to these government officials engaged in unlawful activities, vowing to publicly shame those individuals.

He stated, “As the leader of the opposition, I will personally initiate legal proceedings against these individuals and pursue them in courts. Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz should be ashamed; they haven’t learned their lesson.”

The situation highlights ongoing tensions between PTI and opposition leaders, with accusations of political maneuvering and interference in legislative affairs.
