Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) accused the government of having placed former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the event of detention in Adiala prison, saying that he was detained in the prison’s death cell.
The central party secretary of the party, Sheikh Waqas, made these complaints at a press conference, declaring that Imran Khan was denied visitors, including political allies and family members, expressed Express News.
Sheikh Waqas stressed that, according to the law, Imran Khan is entitled to meetings with his legal advisor and his family.
However, he alleged that even these rights were blocked. He also said that, despite a court decision allowing six people to meet Khan, the authorities had not authorized the meetings.
“The orders of the courts are ignored. Even Imran Khan’s wife was denied meetings with him twice, and no explanation is given, “said Waqas.
“We have filed a petition for contempt in court. To meet Imran Khan, we must approach the court, but even after the petition for contempt, the meetings are not authorized. Political partners are arrested, and even his family is not authorized to meet him.”
Sheikh Waqas said that with so many cases against Imran Khan, how will he consult his lawyers? Judicial orders are ignored.
Sheikh Waqas also declared that despite the judicial orders, Imran Khan is not authorized to meet his children, and he is not authorized to sign proxy documents. These actions reveal the state of mind of the government. Such actions of the government force us to protest.
PTI’s central information secretary said Imran Khan’s determination was strong and that he cannot be broken.
He also noted that Imran Khan’s medical consultations with his personal doctor have been denied, which raises concerns about his well-being.
In addition, PTI leaders expressed their frustration that Imran Khan’s books and newspapers are refused by the prison authorities.
They asked for how Imran Khan could consult lawyers for his many cases when he was not authorized to access legal documents or communication.
Waqas continued by criticizing the government’s approach to the Ramadan rescue package, highlighting the contrast between the assistance offered by the previous PTI government and the limited support of the current administration.
Criticizing the Ramadan package of the federal government, he mentioned that during PTI’s mandate, the EHSAAS program offered 15,000 per family.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government gives Rs. 10,000 per family, although, despite high inflation, the federal government only offers Rs. 5,000 per family in its Ramadan package. He urged the federal government to spend money on the public rather than personal advertising. The abusive use of authority as a form of political corruption must be avoided.
