On Tuesday, PTI founder Imran Khan’s sisters and party leaders were denied entry to Adiala Jail, prompting a sit-in outside the facility.
Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, along with PTI workers and legal representatives, were stopped at the checkpoint leading to the jail. They were prevented from meeting Imran Khan.
Among those present were legal team members Salman Akram Raja, Aun Abbas Bappi, Shandana Gulzar, Naeem Panjotha, Meena Khan Afridi, and Shaukat Basra. They joined PTI supporters in staging a sit-in protest at the checkpoint.
Officials at Adiala Jail confirmed that the entry was denied due to security protocols, though no additional details were provided. The sit-in lasted several hours, drawing attention from media and political observers.
PTI leaders emphasized that the protest was peaceful and aimed at highlighting their inability to access Imran Khan. They also called for dialogue with authorities to resolve the issue.
The sit-in reflects growing tensions between PTI members and the administration, especially regarding access to political leaders in custody. Party representatives stated that they hope for swift permission to meet their leader.
Social media quickly picked up the news, with several PTI supporters expressing solidarity and urging authorities to allow the meeting. The incident has added to ongoing political debates surrounding Imran Khan’s detention and the party’s activities.
