Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was once again prevented by prison authorities from meeting PTI founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail on Thursday.
Imran’s sister Uzma Khan met the party founder in prison on Tuesday after weeks of effort, with CM Afridi and other party leaders scheduled to meet him today. The meeting took place as rumours regarding Imran’s health began circulating in local and foreign media, despite claims by the government and PTI leaders that the former prime minister was in good health.
These speculations, however, gained traction due to the government’s reluctance to let visitors, including his family members and legal team, meet Imran over the past few weeks.
According to a post on X by the PTI, CM Afridi went to Adiala jail to visit Imran, but access was not granted.
Afridi addressed the media outside the prison after the continued lack of access. He said he would update the media on the immediate course of action—whether he would stage a sit-in or not.
Visuals shared by the party showed a large group of supporters gathered outside the prison as well.
