Aleema Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan, has claimed that judges are being appointed to the judiciary with the sole purpose of keeping Imran Khan in jail.
Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, she conveyed Imran Khan’s message, stating that recent developments clearly indicate a deliberate effort to imprison the PTI founder and dismantle the party.
Aleema Khan asserted that for the past three years, various plots have been orchestrated with the primary objective of ensuring that Imran Khan remains imprisoned and that PTI is eliminated.
"His government was overthrown, people were subjected to oppression, and the May 9 incident was staged as a false flag operation. Over 100,000 raids were conducted on homes. On February 8, people's votes were stolen, and corrupt individuals were placed in the assembly," she alleged.
She also pointed to the 26th Amendment, claiming it was introduced to bring in judges who would serve the government’s interests.
"Our judiciary has capable judges who can deliver justice, but they need those who will hand out sentences and keep Imran Khan in jail," she said.
Aleema further referred to the £190 million case ruling, claiming that it was decided to ensure that high court judges uphold the conviction during the appeal process, dragging the legal proceedings for another two to three years.
She alleged that Supreme Court judges were now strategically appointed to ensure Imran Khan remained in jail.
Additionally, she criticised the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), stating that it was introduced to suppress social media.
"A law has been enacted today that allows authorities to imprison anyone who speaks out on social media," she remarked.
She concluded by stating that the rule of law has been severely compromised, leaving little hope for justice through the courts.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan has written a letter to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir, 'criticising the establishment’s policies' and calling for a review of its national security and governance approach.
The letter, sent from Adiala Jail, highlights Imran's concerns over what he describes as a growing disconnect between the military and the public, Express News reported.
According to PTI lawyer Faisal Fareed Chaudhry, who disclosed the letter's contents to journalists, Imran emphasised that the fight against terrorism can only succeed if the nation stands united behind the armed forces.
Imran argued that the 'establishment is backing those who have twice benefited from the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO),' a reference to past political settlements that allowed leaders to evade corruption charges.
He also raised concerns about the country’s economic instability, the conduct of the recent general elections, and the state’s actions against his party.
