Ayub recalled that Imran Khan had met the IMF delegation on July 7, 2023, stressing that the fair elections were essential to the rule of law, economic prosperity and national development.

Ayub accused the government of having violated the constitutional principles and included the conclusions of the NGO Pattan, which, according to him, said that electoral fraud has documented.
He stressed that economic and political stability depends on transparency and urged international stakeholders, including the IMF, to take note of these concerns.

Sources of security, however, rejected the complaints concerning the previous letters of Imran, declaring that no correspondence of this type had been received and that the establishment had no interest in engaging with it. They reiterated that any political discussion should take place among politicians rather than involving the army.
Addressing the media outside of Adiala prison in Rawalpindi on Wednesday, Imran’s lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, said that the founder of the PTI had dictated the content of the third letter to party leaders.
