PESHAWAR: Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Science and Information Technology, Dr Shafqat Ayaz, has termed the return of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sons to Pakistan as a “significant political development” that will reinvigorate the party’s momentum ahead of the August 5 movement.
Speaking to media representatives, Dr Ayaz said the decision of Imran Khan’s sons to align themselves with their father’s struggle sends a strong message of unity, commitment, and ideological clarity. “Their return exposes the hollowness of the smear campaign perpetuated by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), particularly by Rana Sanaullah, who has repeatedly resorted to character assassination and political slander,” he remarked.
Dr Ayaz said that those who refrain from questioning the foreign lifestyles of their own party leadership’s families are now visibly rattled by the Khan family’s symbolic and moral stand. “This is a movement rooted in principle and sacrifice — not political opportunism,” he noted.
He further stated that the PTI’s struggle is for constitutional supremacy, rule of law, and national dignity. “Despite unprecedented political persecution, Imran Khan continues to inspire millions. The decision of his sons to join him on Pakistani soil is a testament to the authenticity of this movement.”
Dr Ayaz added that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s people stand firmly with Imran Khan, and that August 5 will mark a turning point in the nation’s democratic journey. “This announcement will breathe new life into our campaign for justice, democracy, and civilian supremacy.”
Concluding his remarks, Dr Shafqat Ayaz said:
“The return of Imran Khan’s sons has dealt a critical blow to the propaganda and double standards of PML-N. The nation has made its choice — we reject repression and deceit. Imran Khan represents the future of a free and dignified Pakistan.”
