Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) has accused the government of placing former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a lonely confinement in the Adiala prison and claiming that he will be held in the prison’s death cell.
The party’s central secretary of information, Sheikh Waqas, made the claims during a press conference stating that Imran Khan had been denied any visitors, including political allies and family members, Express News reported.
Sheikh Waqas emphasized that Imran Khan is entitled to meetings with his legal adviser and family.
However, he claimed that even these rights were blocked. He also claimed that despite a court decision allowing six people to meet Khan, the authorities had not allowed the meetings to take place.
“The orders of the court are disregarded. Even Imran Khan’s wife has been denied meetings with him twice and no explanation is given, ”Waqas said.
“We have filed a contempt for the court’s petition. To meet Imran Khan, one has to go to court, but even after the contempt the petition is not allowed. Politically associated companies are stopped, and even refusing his family not to be allowed to meet him.
Sheikh Waqas said that with so many cases against Imran Khan, how will he consult his lawyers? The court’s decisions are ignored.
Sheikh Waqas also said that, despite court decisions, Imran Khan is not allowed to meet his children, nor is he allowed to sign proxy. These actions reveal government thinking. Such actions from the government force us into protest.
PTI’s central secretary of information said IMRAN KHAN’s determination is strong and he cannot be broken.
He also noted that Imran Khan’s medical consultations with his personal doctor have been denied and raised concerns about his well -being.
In addition, PTI leaders have expressed frustration that Imran Khan’s books and newspapers were detained from him by the prison authorities.
They questioned how Imran Khan could consult lawyers about his numerous cases as he did not have access to legal documents or communication.
Waqas continued to criticize the government’s approach to the Ramadan Nut -Nutback Package and highlight the contrast between the aid offered by the previous PTI government and the current administration’s limited support.
The Ehsaas program, which criticized the Federal Government’s Ramadan package, mentioned that the EHSAA’s program during PTI’s tenure offered Rs. 15,000 per Family.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government gives Rs. 10,000 per Family, while the federal government despite high inflation only offers Rs. 5,000 per Family in his Ramadan package. He urged the federal government to spend money on the public instead of on personal advertising. Abuse of authority as a form of political bribery should be avoided.
