F.P. Report
RAWALPINDI: Aleema Khan, the sister of Imran Khan, said that the former prime minister has refused to strike any deal, asking “why he would enter any deal when he has already spent one-and-a-half years” in prison.
“The PTI founder said that his cases have been wrapped up and he was not making a deal [with the government] over this matter,” said Aleema while speaking to media persons outside Adiala jail on Monday — where her brother is incarcerated. Aleema, who has recently been taking part in party’s political matters, said that Khan has vowed to fight his cases and will not accept any offer to be placed under house arrest in Bani Gala.
The PTI founder, she said, has questioned how were the cases of those leaders who left the party were forgiven. “He said that the May 9 conspiracy was hatched to crush the party,” said Khan’s sister. Aleema said her brother has reiterated the demands of a judicial probe into May 9 riots and November 26 late-night crackdown and release of “political prisoners”.
