Imran, Bushra Bibi fasting without food, claims Barrister Saif

Former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi are fasting without being provided meals for Sehri and Iftar, PTI’s Barrister Saif claimed on Tuesday.

Barrister Saif, adviser to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, alleged that the couple was being denied food while observing Ramadan fasts.

He said the restriction on meetings with the PTI founder was causing distress among party workers and was a “blatant violation” of court orders.

The provincial aide accused the government of resorting to “petty tactics,” causing widespread concern among the public.

Previously, the party accused the government of placing Imran Khan in solitary confinement at Adiala jail, claiming that he is being held in the prison’s death cell.

The party’s Central Information Secretary, Sheikh Waqas, made the claims during a press conference, stating that Imran Khan had been denied any visitors, including political allies and family members.

Sheikh Waqas emphasised that, according to the law, Imran Khan is entitled to meetings with his legal counsel and family.

However, he alleged that even these rights were being blocked. He further claimed that, despite a court ruling permitting six people to meet Khan, the authorities had not allowed the meetings to take place.

“The courts’ orders are being disregarded. Even Imran Khan’s wife has been denied meetings with him twice, and no explanation is being given,” Waqas said.
