National ( The cow news digital ) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has once again called on authorities to allow family members to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan, warning that continued restrictions could deepen political tensions and public resentment.
Speaking to reporters in Rawalpindi, Barrister Gohar said it has been 37 weeks since anyone was permitted to meet the PTI founder. He argued that preventing family visits would only increase frustration and contribute to a more polarized political environment.
“If family meetings continue to be denied, it will create greater hatred and tension,” Gohar said, urging the authorities to facilitate access in accordance with legal and humanitarian considerations.
Commenting on PTI’s decision regarding the upcoming Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections, Gohar said the matter was discussed in detail by the party’s political committee. He explained that the decision to boycott the elections was made after assessing the prevailing political conditions in the region.
The PTI chairman reiterated that the party does not support any narrative considered hostile to the state. However, he emphasized that PTI continues to support the legitimate democratic demands and concerns of the people of Azad Kashmir.
Responding to speculation about internal divisions within the party, Gohar firmly rejected reports suggesting the existence of a forward bloc within PTI. He maintained that the party remains united despite ongoing political challenges and legal pressures faced by its leadership.
Meanwhile, Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was allowed to meet members of her family at Adiala Jail. According to reports, her sister-in-law, Mehr-un-Nisa Maneka, and her daughter, Mubashra Sheikh, attended the meeting.
The family meeting took place in the prison’s conference room and lasted approximately 40 minutes. During the visit, discussions reportedly focused on Bushra Bibi’s health and overall well-being.
Imran Khan has remained at the center of Pakistan’s political landscape despite being incarcerated in multiple legal cases. PTI leaders have repeatedly raised concerns over restrictions on meetings with the former premier, while government officials maintain that prison regulations are being implemented in accordance with the law.
The issue of access to political prisoners continues to generate debate, with PTI demanding regular family and legal meetings as political uncertainty remains a significant feature of Pakistan’s current political environment.
