The family is not being allowed to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is lodged in Pakistan's Adiala jail. His sisters have expressed concern over their brother's health and condition. Tension continues between the government and Imran's party Tehreek-e-Insaf regarding this. Let us know what statements have been given by prominent people and their party regarding Imran.
PML-N party president and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that the country was ruined because of Imran Khan. He talked about fixing accountability for those who brought Imran Khan to power. Nawaz said that those who brought Imran Khan to power are bigger criminals than Imran. They should be held fully accountable.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi came to meet Imran Khan in jail, but the administration did not allow him to meet. Angered by this, Afridi sat on a dharna outside Adiala jail. Sohail is the only Chief Minister of PTI. He warned that if Imran Khan's family was not allowed to meet immediately, PTI would hold massive demonstrations across Pakistan.
Senior PTI leader Barrister Gauhar said that the party has authorized senior leader Mahmood Abbas Achakzai for formal talks with the government and administration regarding Imran's case. According to Gauhar, serious questions are being raised regarding not meeting Imran and his legal status. He said that stopping the meeting is not only a violation of human rights, but also shows that the government is hiding some fact.
PTI's official spokesperson Asim Waqas said that the government and the jail administration are not revealing the real condition of Imran Khan. He said that the party is neither being informed about Imran's health condition, nor is it being told why the permission for the meeting is being withheld. The government should release correct information immediately. If this does not happen, the party can protest legally and democratically.
PTI said in its official statement that Imran's rights are being violated in Adiala jail. The party alleged that the government was not allowing Imran Khan to meet his family, lawyers and party leaders out of political vendetta. PTI said that Imran is the former Prime Minister of the country, hence he should get basic and constitutional rights. The party also claimed that the government was hiding information related to Imran's health. PTI warned that if the meeting was not resumed, the party would launch a major agitation.
Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail rejected these allegations and said that Imran Khan is completely safe. He is being provided medical facilities and his health is normal. The jail administration said that the meeting has been stopped due to security reasons. The administration said that recently there were warnings about the security of the jail, so the visits were temporarily stopped. The meetings will be resumed once the situation becomes normal.
