Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Sunday appointed three official spokespersons.
According to a notification issued by the PTI, Barrister Gohar Khan, Salman Akram Raja, and Omar Ayub have been designated as the focal persons for PTI’s incarcerated leader.
This decision aims to clear any ambiguities regarding information related to the PTI founder, ensuring that all communications will now be handled through these spokespersons, as per the notification.
In a related development, at least three PTI leaders were arrested in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, for violating an ordinance that bans political activities without seeking permission.
The detained leaders include Abdul Hameed Pothi, Sain Zulfiqar, and Qazi Arshad, who had organised a meeting on the November 24 protest.
According to the details, PTI leaders held a meeting on November 16 to discuss the planned protest on November 24. The meeting was chaired by Qayyum Niazi and included a dinner at the Mirpur rest house. The FIR states that PTI did not seek prior permission from the administration to hold the meeting.
Under the new ordinance, it is mandatory to obtain administrative approval for any gathering or protest. The FIR also mentions that PTI leaders made derogatory remarks against state institutions during the meeting.
