NEW DELHI: Imran Khan’s sister on Tuesday said the former Pakistan prime minister is “completely fine” and in good health, after she was finally allowed to meet him inside Adiala Jail following weeks of restricted access that had fuelled protests and rumours about his condition.
Because of his policies, terrorism has spiralled out of control that grieves me deeply.
Noreen Niazi said, “We peacefully protested over concerns for his health condition. He also claimed that field marshal Munir’s policies were “disastrous” for Pakistan and accused him of intentionally “igniting tensions” with Afghanistan. Earlier reporting noted: In a post on X written in Urdu, Khan said, “Asim Munir’s policies are disastrous for Pakistan. Earlier reporting noted: The PTI founder said he had always opposed “drone attacks and military operations against own people in the country which he said would only fuel more terrorism.”
Concerns had intensified last week after Imran’s three sisters were allegedly assaulted by Punjab police during a peaceful protest outside Adiala Jail. We neither blocked roads nor obstructed public movement, nor engaged in any unlawful conduct. Yet, without warning or provocation, the streetlights in the area were abruptly switched off, deliberately casting the scene into darkness. What followed was a brutal and orchestrated assault by Punjab police personnel.
Earlier reporting noted: Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the country’s army chief and de-facto ruler Asim Munir , calling him a “mentally unstable man.
The meeting lasted around 30 minutes, she told the publication.
Uzma entered the prison as several PTI supporters gathered outside demanding transparency on Imran’s health, according to Pakistan news outlet Dawn. However, he said that they are subjecting him to mental torture, and that Asim Munir is responsible for all of this. Uzma said that Imran Khan was kept in his room throughout the day, allowed only limited time outside, and had no communication with anyone, according to Dawn. The petition said jail authorities had blocked visits by family, lawyers and PTI leaders since March.
Following the meeting, PTI USA shared her remarks, quoting her as saying, “Imran Khan’s health is perfectly fine. The meeting took place on a day when PTI had already planned demonstrations outside the Islamabad high court and Adiala Jail to protest what it called unjustified restrictions on Imran Khan’s visitation rights. Jail officials have maintained that Imran remains in good health. Tensions escalated after Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Sohail Afridi was denied a meeting for the eighth consecutive time, prompting him to stage a sit-in outside the prison. PTI has continued to demand direct access and clarity on Imran’s condition.
Earlier, Imran’s sister Aleema Khan had filed a contempt petition against the Adiala Jail superintendent and other senior officials, alleging repeated defiance of the court’s directions. Authorities at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail permitted Imran’s sister Uzma Khanum to meet him on Tuesday, breaking a prolonged period during which family members and PTI leaders were repeatedly denied access.
