ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan has said that the ongoing negotiations are giving the impression that the former prime minister also wants to get out of jail through NRO.
Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Aleema Khan said that Imran Khan has been facing court cases for more than a year and a half. She wants the decision on the Al-Qadir Trust case to be announced so the world knows what the case is about, she added.
She mentioned that the government’s actions give the impression that Imran Khan like them wants to get out of jail by getting NRO. She reminded everyone that Imran Khan has been facing cases for two and a half years.
Aleema Khan further stated that efforts were made to get Imran Khan to leave the country, with attempts to have him go abroad for three years, then two years and finally six months. There have also been suggestions that he be placed under house arrest or kept silent while the government gets on with its work.
Aleema Khan clarified that Imran Khan has sent a clear message to the negotiating committee which met the government two or three times. Imran Khan’s two main demands are that a judicial commission be formed to investigate the events of May 9 and November 26 and that an inquiry be made into the FIRs filed against 10,000 to 12,000 people. His second demand is the release of innocent people imprisoned in prisons, she added.
Talking about the Al-Qadir Trust case, she said, Imran Khan clearly stated that it was a misunderstanding that the case was being used as a sword hanging over his head.
She further mentioned that Imran Khan told the authorities to deliver a verdict in this case, just like they did in the Iddat and Cipher cases.
