Omar Ayub Khan, the PTI’s candidate for prime minister, has said that after the allegations levelled by the Rawalpindi commissioner, there should be a judicial inquiry.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, he said, “There should be a judicial inquiry with independent judges. And those named by the Pindi commissioner should not be involved in this inquiry.”

Referring to the chief justice, Omar said that since the top judge had been named by the commissioner, the party would request that he not become a part of the bench.

“And an independent panel […] there should be a clear and fair transparency,” he said.
