Aleema Khan Slams Govt, Urges Dialogue with Imran Khan in Jail

Aleema Khan, sister of the jailed founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has accused the government of being afraid of public protests and urged the authorities to initiate dialogue with Imran Khan directly in prison.

While speaking to the media at Chakri Interchange, Aleema criticized the government’s heavy police deployment and said, “A protest was called, but it seems there are more police on the streets than protestors. The government is scared.”

She reiterated that if the ruling coalition genuinely wants reconciliation, it must speak with Imran Khan directly. “The government says it wants talks, so they should go and talk to the founder in jail. What are they waiting for?” she asked.

Aleema also criticized former Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for earlier remarks suggesting that Imran Khan’s children could be arrested if they return to Pakistan. “They are free individuals. Suleman and Qasim can go anywhere — if not to Trump, then where else?” she said sarcastically.

She confirmed that both sons of the former Prime Minister have submitted their visa applications to the Pakistan High Commission.

Commenting on the continued crackdown on PTI supporters, she revealed that an 82-year-old man had been dragged from his home during a night raid. Noreen Niazi, another sister of Imran Khan, echoed the sentiment and condemned the actions of law enforcement agencies.

Aleema emphasized that Imran Khan has now spent nearly two years in prison and that the family is finding it increasingly difficult to stop women supporters from protesting. “Our struggle for the supremacy of law and justice will continue,” she affirmed.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions between PTI and the ruling coalition, with opposition voices growing louder in demanding fair treatment of political workers and leadership.
