Earlier on July 7, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rejected the resignation of Omar Ayub Khan. It said that Omar Ayub will continue serving on the post in line with instructions given by PTI founder Imran Khan.
In June, Omar Ayub stepped down as the secretary-general of PTI "to focus" on his role as the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly of Pakistan. However, PTI's core committee and parliamentary party opposed his step, asking him to withdraw his decision to step down from the party's coveted post.
