Aleema Khan, the sister of former prime minister Imran Khan, revealed on Wednesday that her brother had received a message from the then Chief of Army Staff, Gen (Retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, offering a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf if Imran ended his protest that had commenced after his ouster from the Prime Minister’s Office.
After a meeting with Imran Khan at Adiala Jail, Aleema Khan, while talking to the media said, “Imran Khan conveyed a message to me, stating, ‘In August 2022, Gen Bajwa approached me with an offer that if PTI ceased protests against regime-change, a two-thirds majority for the party will be ensured in the National Assembly.’”
According to Aleema Khan, Imran Khan asserted, “Our parents were born in a slave country; we are free, and I will not bow before anyone except God. It is better for us to face death than to accept slavery in a free country.”
Aleema Khan further highlighted the challenges faced, stating that every day permission is granted to only three to four journalists in jail. “There is no open trial [happening in Adiala jail]. The cases against Imran have no weight,” she added.
She further said that Imran is entangled in a new case whenever he gets bail in an old case, saying that it was a ploy to keep the former prime minister in prison.
