\nAddressing the media in Quetta, Ayub said the PTI gave awareness to the masses. He also claimed that his party would form the next government once the current governments are dissolved, he claimed, adding that all that the PTI wanted was supremacy of the law and constitution.
\n\u201cThis is not old Pakistan. People have now awakened. Despite hurdles, (our) rallies have been successful,\u201d he said.
\nThe PTI leader also apprised that his party workers were tortured and they were not allowed to wave party flags in Pishin and Chaman public gatherings.
