Aleema Khan Clarifies No Backdoor Talks for Imran Khan, Reveals 2-Point Agenda

Aleema Khan, the sister of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, has strongly denied the media’s claims that her brother is engaged in backdoor negotiations. Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Aleema Khan clarified that there have been no contacts with anyone other than the designated negotiation committee.

Addressing rumors that PTI founder Imran Khan had come out of prison with some form of a "backdoor deal," Aleema Khan emphasized that there was no secretive dialogue occurring. "The government is trying to create the impression that Imran Khan has secured a deal, but this is not the case. He has had no communication with anyone except the negotiation committee," Aleema Khan asserted.

Further elaborating on the situation, she revealed that there had been attempts to force Imran Khan into silence, including offers of house arrest in exchange for keeping quiet while the government ran its course. Although these messages were relayed indirectly, Aleema Khan said that the government made it clear that it wanted the PTI founder to step aside, even suggesting that he should leave the country for three years.

Aleema Khan also discussed the ongoing negotiation efforts, explaining that Imran Khan had clearly outlined two key demands to the committee. The first is the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the events of May 9 and November 26, and the second is the release of innocent individuals who have been wrongly detained.

Imran Khan, according to his sister, has also expressed his desire for a clear and transparent legal process, particularly in relation to the cases against him. He indicated that if the government intends to make decisions regarding his legal cases, like the 190 million pounds case, he wants it done openly, so the public can understand the nature of the accusations against him. “He wants to have this case decided so the world knows exactly what it is about," said Aleema Khan.

Imran Khan has also been vocal about the incidents of November 26, asserting that those events must be held accountable. According to Aleema Khan, the PTI leader is determined that the challenges faced since then should not be forgotten, stating that his party will continue to raise their voices on these matters.

As for the negotiation process itself, Aleema Khan urged that the negotiation committee must be allowed to meet Imran Khan if any real progress is to be made. "If the negotiation committee is not allowed to meet Imran Khan, how can the process move forward?" she questioned. She also addressed misconceptions within the government, urging them not to believe that Imran Khan is afraid of any further legal consequences. "He is ready to face the punishment for his alleged crimes, but the process must be fair," she stated.

Finally, Aleema Khan called for more attention to the issue of missing persons, a subject that Imran Khan has frequently raised. She emphasized that PTI leaders have been instructed to report on the number of party workers who are still unaccounted for.

With the PTI continuing to navigate these tense political waters, Aleema Khan’s statements shed light on the party’s current stance and ongoing efforts to secure a fair and transparent resolution to their leader’s legal troubles.
