PTI founder Imran Khan\u2019s sister Aleema Khanum and former party MNA Kanwal Shauzab had a tense exchange in court on Saturday over a video that surfaced of the latter criticising the former.<\/p>\n
In the recently surfaced video, Shauzab can be allegedly heard and seen criticising Aleema for disrespecting party office-holders and interim chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, saying that Imran\u2019s sister should not dent the party. Shauzab allegedly said she would confront Aleema herself over the issue.<\/p>\n
That happened today as Shauzab approached Aleema in the Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court (ATC), saying she wanted to talk to her. However, Imran\u2019s sister said: \u201cJust leave it. What you said was right. Many other people speak against us. We are now used to such accusations.\u201d<\/p>\n
To this, Shauzab told her that she wanted to speak with her in this regard to which Aleema rebuffed her, saying: \u201cI am not angry with you, [now] go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shauzab replied: \u201cA specific part of an old video of mine was used against me.\u201d Aleema subsequently told her that many from the PML-N and other parties also spoke against her. Imran\u2019s sister thereafter left while ignoring the party member.<\/p>\n
Court rejects Aleema\u2019s request to travel abroad
\nMeanwhile, ATC Judge Amjad Ali Shah rejected Aleema\u2019s petition requesting permission to exempt her from court appearances so she could travel abroad.<\/p>\n
Talking to the media outside the court, she said she had been visiting the courts for the past week due to \u201cnewer and newer cases\u201d, alleging that they were being filed to impede her travel abroad.<\/p>\n
She questioned who was afraid of her and why for going abroad.<\/p>\n
Aleema further alleged that there were around 50-60 cases against her for delivering her brother\u2019s messages to the people.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Islamabad High Court Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro had directed the removal of her name from the Provisional National Immigration List and Passport Control List.<\/p>\n
Aleema had approached the court to challenge the inclusion of her name in the travel ban lists. The court had allowed her to seek permission to travel abroad by approaching the relevant trial court handling the cases registered against her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
