Imran’s sister says only acceptable ‘deal’ is restoration of judiciary, free and fair elections

Aleema Khan, sister of the incarcerated former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, declared on Tuesday that the nation's only acceptable "deal" involves reinstating an independent judiciary and conducting free and fair elections. Her statement came as authorities once again prevented her from meeting her brother at Adiala Jail.

Speaking to reporters outside the prison, Khan asserted that meeting her brother is a constitutional right. She pledged to persist in her visits to Adiala Jail, viewing it as the sole method to apply pressure on the "powers that be." She emphasized that Imran Khan's family and party leaders would continue their advocacy for an independent judiciary and a free media.

Addressing speculation about a meeting between the PTI founder and a former military chief, Khan dismissed these claims as politically motivated. "No such meeting has taken place, and such rumors are circulated whenever political temperatures rise," she stated, rejecting the reports as baseless. The family and party maintain their focus on achieving judicial independence and electoral fairness.
