Aleema Khan, the sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has accused the current party leadership of having no intention of freeing him from jail.
Her comments came in response to the postponement of today's PTI rally in Tarnol, Islamabad.
Aleema Khan questioned why Azam Swati, a PTI leader, visited Imran Khan early in the morning and who instructed him to deliver the message about the rally postponement.
She expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such a meeting at 7:30 AM at Adiala Jail and alleged that the decision to cancel the rally was made under pressure from the establishment.
She criticised the current PTI leadership for not having the courage to face the party's supporters and for making decisions without consulting the founder.
Aleema Khan claimed that the leadership has no real intention of securing Imran Khan's release and is instead using his name while making decisions independently.
Earlier today, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced the postponement of its planned rally in Islamabad’s Tarnol Chowk until September 8, following instructions from party founder Imran Khan."
The decision was finalised after senior PTI leaders Omar Ayub Khan, Azam Swati, and Barrister Gohar met with Imran Khan at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
Following the meeting, Azam Swati and Barrister Gohar spoke outside the jail, confirming the rally's delay and announcing the new date.
PTI's founding leader Imran Khan later clarified that those seeking freedom should not view this decision to delay the planned rally as a sign of weakness.
He stressed that his party believes in peaceful political and legal struggles and made this decision to avoid unrest.
