- Aleema Khan shares statement with media after a 45-minute siblings meeting in prison
- Imran also directs Junaid Akbar to focus entirely on reinvigorating the movement: Sister
ISLAMABAD: Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Tuesday barred the party from implementing the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Mines and Minerals Bill, attending any All Parties Conference (APC), apex committee, and National Security Committee meeting without his approval.
The PTI founder’s sister Aleema Khan shared the statement with the media persons outside Adiala Jail after 45-minute meeting with his brother.
Other two sisters – Uzma Khan and Noreen Khan also met their brother.
Speaking to the media, Aleema Khan, who was once again denied permission to meet him, shared details of the meeting.
She revealed that Imran expressed serious reservations about party operations proceeding without his input. “He made it clear that no policy will be approved without his consent,” she quoted Imran as saying. “He has also instructed party members not to attend any APC, apex, or national security meetings unless authorised by him.”
According to Aleema Khan: “Imran specifically barred Ali Amin Gandapur from meeting him and criticised his long absence from jail despite being at senior position in the party. He compared the situation with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet, remarking that “entire cabinets used to go to jail or London — why not Ali Amin?”
Imran also directed party leader Junaid Akbar to focus entirely on reinvigorating the movement. “People want a strong movement right now,” he purportedly said, encouraging protests in front of the Election Commission and filing appeals in election tribunals.
On the issue of his health, Aleema clarified that Imran is in good condition and dismissed rumours propagated by Indian media as propaganda. She also criticised the treatment of PTI lawmakers by police, claiming they were manhandled and humiliated.
Imran also reportedly warned against the misuse of his X account, questioning how individuals like Faisal Chaudhry gain access.
Touching on Indian issue, Aleema Khan quoted her brother as asking the government to present a serious front, urging the president and prime minister to issue firm statements instead of what he described as “drama.”
