Ali Khan, a founding leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a long-time ally of Imran Khan, has announced a peaceful movement for the release of the former prime minister.
Speaking at a press conference alongside other party leaders at the Swat Press Club, Khan emphasized that Imran Khan is currently imprisoned for an unjust cause and vowed to personally lead the movement for his release.
Khan stated, “Imran Khan is imprisoned for crimes he did not commit, and I am announcing a peaceful movement for his release, which I will personally lead.”
He revealed plans to set up hunger strike camps at Adiala Jail, Swat, and Peshawar in the near future, calling for the immediate release of all PTI workers and leaders detained during the November 26 protests in Islamabad.
Further, Khan demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter, urging the release of innocent individuals who have been wrongfully imprisoned.
He also expressed his disappointment with the state of corruption in the country, lamenting that, instead of seeing a reduction in corruption, it has only increased.
“We have failed to create a corruption-free society,” Khan added. “No government, including the one led by the PTI, has managed to pass anti-corruption legislation in the assembly. Imran Khan is in jail not because of corruption, but because he has been wrongfully convicted. His release is our ultimate goal.”
Earlier, Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, hinted that the former prime minister would remain in jail for another three to four months.
While talking to media outside Adiala Jail, she emphasized that if a verdict is passed in the 190 million-pound reference case, they will appeal to the High Court, where she believes relief can be expected.
“I am fully convinced that Imran Khan will be convicted in the 190 million-pound reference case. However, when verdicts are issued by trial courts, relief is typically granted by the High Court. This case is absurd, accusing him for starting a charity project,” Aleema Khan said.
