Meetings with Imran Khan banned on PTI leaders' request: Faisal Vawda

Senator Faisal Vawda has said that the ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders meeting with party's founding chairman Imran Khan was imposed at the request of the PTI leaders themselves.

In a special discussion on a private channel, Senator Vawda said that the meeting was not intended to take place because the PTI leadership advised against seeking permission for it, saying, “When he (Imran Khan) tells us to come out, it becomes difficult for us.”

He added that the PTI members had summoned a letter from 62 US senators, which further widened the gap between Imran Khan and the establishment.

He claimed that they had pushed Imran Khan and his politics into oblivion.

When asked about the deal under which Bushra Bibi was released, Senator Vawda remarked that if her release wasn’t under a deal, then how could there have been weeks of renovation at Bani Gala? He noted that trees had been planted and cleaning had taken place.

However, Vawda did not provide details about the alleged deal. He mentioned that it is unclear when Imran Khan will be released, as no one knows what cases are pending against him.

The Senator went on to say that General (R) Faiz Hamid was implicating Imran Khan in multiple issues, including the events of May 9 and the murder of Arshad Sharif, and predicted that there will be a court martial for Faiz Hamid, leading to his conviction.

He raised a question about why Murad Saeed, a minister under Imran Khan, has been absent from the Arshad Sharif murder case, asserting that he hasn’t been seen in two years.

In response to a question, Faisal Vawda noted that he had mentioned the 27th amendment before the 26th amendment. He stated that after the 27th, more amendments, including the 28th, would follow.

On the social media platform X, Vawda wrote that he had announced the previous day that Bushra Bibi would be released, expressing gratitude that he does not make baseless claims.

He claimed there are no new cases against Bushra Bibi and that her vehicle was allowed to enter VIP style.

As I mentioned, the founder of PTI will also meet with lawyers today, and regular meetings will commence in jail from October 26.

He assured the nation that he would not hide anything. He noted that many of the founder’s companions and those close to him have abandoned him, throwing him into the fires of hell.
