Imran Khan's nephew, Abdullah Khan, was denied a meeting with the PTI founder on Tuesday, despite being listed as a family member seeking access to Imran at Adiala jail. This denied meeting comes after Imran's lawyer, Barrister Salman Safdar, was granted a meeting earlier in the week. The Islamabad High Court allows Imran twice-weekly visits, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with his family, lawyers, and associates.
However, in recent months, his access to family and party leaders has been limited due to court directives. PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja hinted at potential support from Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in their struggle against the government, stating that the party would welcome anyone who would stand by them.
Fazl has been critical of the federal government over the imposition of governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Both parties have been engaged in harsh exchanges since Fazl accused the Centre of reneging on its commitments. Additionally, Imran Khan's secretary general dismissed rumors that the former premier was happy about the governor's rule in KP, stating that Imran was aware of the measures but did not find it a positive step.
