Islamabad:
The PTI rejected Tuesday as base -founding reports circulating in the media that the founder of the Imran Khan party had forbidden his two sons to go to Pakistan or to participate in any effort for his release.
Against reports in an article on “X”, the central secretary of central information Waqas Akram said that the new circulating media were “completely false”.
“Imran Khan Sahib has absolutely not prevented his children from coming to Pakistan. I would ask the friends of the media who signal from Adiala to disseminate only what Khan Sahib says. It is inappropriate to get out of things, selectively, or to present conversations according to their own wishes.”
He followed another article, saying that he should not be doubted about the arrival of the sons of the former first, for whom he added, the date has not yet been determined.
“And everyone must remember that when they decided to come, they clearly told their father that we do not seek your permission but inform you. So avoid these propaganda because they are not useful.”
The denial came in the midst of media reports suggesting that the former imprisoned Prime Minister had told journalists that his sons – Sulaiman Khan, 28, and Kasim Khan, 26 – would visit Pakistan or participate in demonstrations.
The two sons had broken their public silence on the imprisonment of their father in May this year. Earlier this month, Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan also said that the two would go to the United States before arriving in Pakistan as a wider effort to ask for the release of their father.
The Minister of Defense, Khawaja Asif, rejected the situation as “a drama among many dramas”, alleging that “the goal was not the meeting of the father and the child, but a political gain. No decision of the founder occurs without political or financial gain”.
The Minister of State of the Interior Talal Chaudhry had previously noticed that the sons could come to Pakistan and would make no restrictions on this.
