National ( The cow news digital ) Senior journalist Irshad Bhatti has claimed that he recently met former prime minister Imran Khan during a court hearing inside jail premises, describing the encounter as informal, calm, and unexpectedly lighthearted.
According to Arshad Bhatti, Imran Khan appeared in court wearing a tracksuit and a cap, walking in with a composed and confident demeanor. He said that the former premier maintained his usual self-assured attitude despite being in custody.
Bhatti stated that during the brief interaction, Imran Khan approached him and made a humorous remark, asking whether he had lost weight. He added that he responded in the affirmative.
The journalist further claimed that Imran Khan smiled and said he had also lost weight. According to Bhatti, the former prime minister then jokingly advised him to “now that you are in jail, eat lentils and bread before leaving, the food here is quite good.”
He described the exchange as casual and friendly, suggesting that the atmosphere during the meeting was relaxed rather than tense. Bhatti emphasized that the interaction reflected a lighter side of Imran Khan’s personality, contrasting with the serious legal circumstances surrounding the case.
The remarks have since gained attention on social media, where users and political commentators have been actively discussing the alleged conversation. Reactions have varied, with some viewing it as a humanizing anecdote, while others have questioned the timing and context of the claim.
Imran Khan remains in legal proceedings in multiple cases, and his appearances in court have continued to attract significant media coverage and public interest.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from jail authorities or legal representatives regarding the specific details of the interaction described by Arshad Bhatti.
