“Our seats were stolen with just a stroke of pen. The people gave the mandate to the former PTI chairman. Nation’s mandate and our seats have been attacked,” Ayub said.

Ayub added that the party leaders have met the PTI founder, who is incarcerated at the prison, and he is “confident” of PTI’s stance.

Stating that the party would protest in courts and assemblies, Ayub said, “Ours is the fight for truth.”
