Final Round of Movement against Imran's Imprisonment underwayIslamabad: PTI has announced that preparations for the final round of its movement against Imran Khan’s imprisonment has begun, as Adiala jail authorities again denied permission to meet the party founder on Thursday.
PTI leaders, including Khurram Virk, Naseem Ali Shah, Zahir Shah, Rajab Abbasi, Zar Aalam and Rubina Shaheen, reached Adiala jail but were not allowed to meet Imran Khan until the end of visiting hours.
Zahir, talking to the media, said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi had announced preparations for the final round of the movement against the imprisonment of the PTI founder.
He said that as soon as directions were received from the party founder, the movement would move forward, adding that the struggle had not yet ended.
“Obstacles are deliberately created, resulting in serious damage to the judiciary, and that is why court orders to arrange a meeting with Imran Khan are not being implemented,” Zahir said.
“The attacks on state institutions have weakened them significantly,” he added.
Zahir emphasized that Pakistan must not be subjected to such political turmoil, stating that the country belonged to 250 million people.
He added that in democratic societies around the world, rallies and public gatherings were held in support of political leaders.
“The conditions in which the party founder is being kept in prison amount to an insult to the people, democracy, and democratic institutions,” he stated.
Speaking to the media, MNA Naseem said that, as per the Constitution, legislators cannot be stopped from visiting jails.
He said it was unfortunate that Imran was kept in solitary confinement and demanded that he be shifted to hospital. - Dawn
