Where is Imran Khan? This question is trending right now. It's also a serious worry since his family says they haven't been allowed to see the former Prime Minister of Pakistan for many weeks. Aleema Khanum, one of Imran Khan's three sisters, has said that their family has often been turned away when trying to visit him. "Over the past six to seven months, we have faced many difficulties; sometimes I can see him, sometimes one of my sisters can see him, and sometimes no one can. We have often waited outside for hours," Imran Khan's sister shared with NDTV during a phone call. "In the last few days between August and September, we met him because he was involved in a court case while in jail. Our lawyers at the jail court mentioned that if we and the media were not allowed to see him and there was no open trial, we would refuse to appear before the judge again. Because of that, following the judge's instructions, he decided to continue with the case. So we attended court, saw Imran Khan, and he assured us that he was alright. He also sent some messages," Khanum stated.
Imran Khan lost his position in 2022 due to a no-confidence vote after falling out of favor with the powerful military of the country. The former cricket star has been in custody since August 2023, facing numerous charges that he claims are politically driven. He was found guilty in a corruption case in January, along with his wife, receiving sentences of 14 and seven years, respectively. "Firstly, he should not be in prison. What charges are these against him? He has dealt with all the accusations. The charges in which he is declared innocent. A decision needs to be made now. The case finished about five or six weeks ago. We were waiting for the judgment. The judgment date was set for November 27. It was moved to December 28," she explained. When asked if they believed there was a conspiracy against him, Imran Khan's sister said: "How can we know unless we meet him? Let me share this: No one can even think of touching a hair on Imran's head. Try it and see what happens." The authorities at Adiala Jail today dismissed rumors on social media about Imran Khan's health, stating that he is in "totally good health."
The leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, which is Imran Khan's political party, have been updated on his health. The Adiala Jail officials mentioned in a statement that all needed care is being given to the head of PTI. They also made it clear that claims about moving Imran Khan from Adiala Jail are completely false. The jail officials stated, "Imran Khan remains at Adiala Jail and he is well. The rumors circulating on social media about his transfer are not true." The party of the Pakistani leader is calling on the government to remove the unofficial ban on Imran Khan meeting with people and to quickly set up a meeting for him with his family. The party emphasized that the people will not accept any doubt concerning Imran Khan's situation. They added that it is the government's duty to ensure the safety, human rights, and constitutional rights of Imran Khan.
