ISLAMABAD\/Lahore: Rejecting media reports that she is opposing meetings between Imran Khan and party leaders, Aleema Khan on Tuesday questioned how she could stop such meetings when she herself has been unable to meet her brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople across Pakistan are demanding the release of Imran Khan. The whole world is raising the same demand. Just wait and see \u2014 people will come out of their homes and secure his release. Moreover, as the global situation changes, I am hopeful he will be released,\u201d Ms Khan said while talking to media persons outside Adiala jail.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are waiting here to find out whether we will be allowed to meet Imran. I believe we will not be granted permission, as they want to hide his health condition and what has been done to him. We had requested the chief justice to allow his medical treatment at Shifa International Hospital. We do not insist on meetings if he is allowed proper medical treatment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She said the Chief Justice had forwarded the request for medical treatment to chief commissioner, who comes under Mohsin Naqvi.<\/p>\n
Jailed PTI leaders warn economic stability may collapse within weeks if Gulf tensions continue<\/p>\n
Replying to a question about attacks from Afghanistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ms Khan said she feels pain for every martyr but added that such questions should be directed to the provincial government. She also stressed that there should be no tensions between Muslims.<\/p>\n
Open letter<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in an open letter shared by their counsel, Rana Mudassar Umer, PTI leaders Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhry, Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed, and Omar Sarfraz Cheema warned that the hard-earned macroeconomic stability achieved over the past three years \u2014 largely by placing financial strain on ordinary citizens \u2014 could dissipate within the next three weeks if the Gulf conflict persists.<\/p>\n
Pakistan\u2019s fragile economy has been further exacerbated by a lack of economic restructuring measures and internal disagreements over economic strategy, effectively undermining the chances of reaching a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), according to five senior PTI leaders currently incarcerated in Kot Lakhpat Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
