Rawalpindi:
The founding president of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, described the bill of mines and minerals of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as “controversial” and directed the legal committee of the Party and the leadership of KP to inform him about the legislation, according to PTI Faisal Chaudhry’s lawyer.
Speaking to journalists after meeting PTI imprisoned in Adiala’s prison, Chaudhry said Imran had expressed concern about the bill and emphasized the need to take the public in confidence.
“This bill has become controversial. It is essential that people be aware of their implications,” he said.
Chaudhry added that Imran emphasized the critical need for both the establishment and the PTI to lead Pakistan of the crisis. “The army only cannot unite the country; only political forces can,” he said.
Chaudhry was among the four lawyers, along with Usman Riaz Gul, Faisal Malik and Muhammad Afzal, who were allowed to meet the head of PTI.
He revealed that only two people in the list of official meetings received access to jail, while the rest, including lawyers and party leaders, were arrested at police control points.
He said that Usman Gul and Faisal Malik gave legal reports to the founder of PTI, particularly in cases that do not appear in the court and in the alleged abuse of Bushra Bibi.
Imran also discussed recent political developments and urged the party to write to the President of the Supreme Court regarding the legal concerns of the amendment after 26.
Regarding foreign policy, particularly Afghanistan, the PTI chief reiterated that his administration had a lawyer for a long time to dialogue with the Afghan government to counteract terrorism.
Meanwhile, tensions exploded out of Adiala’s prison as the family of the founder of PTI, including her sisters Aleem Khan, Dr. Uzma Khan and Noreen Khan, a meeting was denied despite waiting for hours.
