Rawalpindi: the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI), Imran Khan his brother in Adiala Prison.
The remarks of the founder of the provocative PTIs came in the middle of the reports circulating on social and electronic media according to which the former ruling party again was looking for in chief interviews with the establishment, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Minister of Chief Ali Amin Gandapur would have played a key role in the effort.
A well -placed source told The News that Gandapur uses its connections to boost dialogue. The source insisted on the fact that PTI is impatient to restart the process and consider Gandapur as the central figure that can get there. So far, nothing indicates that the other side is willing to commit.
During her interaction with journalists outside the Adiala central prison, Khan’s sister said: “Prison rules and judicial orders have no value here.”
Aleema said her car was arrested two kilometers from the prison premises, adding that Khan’s lawyers were also arrested. She said they had been allowed to meet the founder of the PTI after waiting 50 minutes.
Answering a question about her health, she said that the founder of the PTI was in good shape and healthy. “There is no truth in relationships (making the laps in the media) saying that the founder of the PTI is sick,” she added.
Citing Khan, Aleema said that the former First Lady Bushra Bibi was kept in isolation.
She also categorically rejected reports claiming that PTI leaders avoided meeting their imprisoned chief in Rawalpindi. Slamant the government, Aleema said that their “media factory” made such news.
On the other hand, the army argued that it would not be involved in political discussions and that it is up to political parties to solve their problems through dialogue.
A few days ago, the head of the general army Asim Munnir, while rejecting information reporting a letter from the founder of PTI, Imran Khan, said that even if such a letter was coming, he would transmit it to the Prime Minister rather than reading it. His remarks came in response to media questions after Khan, imprisoned since August 2023, on several accusations ranging from corruption to terrorism, wrote a third open letter to the chief of the army.
Recently, the leaders of the PTI Ali Amin Gandapur and the lawyer Gohar Ali Khan met General Asim Munnir, which has speculation about possible political discussions. However, the government and security sources insisted that it was an unforeseen meeting focused solely on security issues. Although Khan would have expressed his enthusiasm about what he saw as the initiation of PTI establishment talks, Barrister Gohar remained cautious, telling the media that only security problems were discussed.
Subsequent media sections reports suggested that a follow -up meeting took place between the PTI and other figures from the establishment, although sources have declared to the new that no meeting of this type is was produced. Instead, they said that the PTI leaders had met a federal minister.
While managers like Gandapur put pressure for a back-channel commitment, Khan continues to take an aggressive position against the establishment. His three open letters are widely considered provocative.
Meanwhile, a senior PTI official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told this correspondent that the party’s foreign chapter put in Washington to put pressure on Pakistan to ensure the release of Khan. He also warned that the European Union could take measures against Pakistan for alleged human rights violations highlighted by the PTI.
