LAHORE:

Punjab government spokesperson Aamir Mir has termed the claim that senior American officials met PTI Chairman Imran Khan at  Adiala Jail a lie. Four days ago, PTI Central President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi told media persons outside the court that American officials, European Union representatives and an IMF delegation met Imran at Adiala Jail.

After Elahi's claim, the prison superintendent and its spokesperson denied the claim, saying that no foreigner met Imran, and that only his family members and lawyers met him.

The spokesperson said that both Elahi and Imran were in the same jail but there was a distance of five hundred metres between their cells and they had not met each other so far. Mir suggested that Elahi should avoid fabricating false stories.
