Aleema Khan: Imran Khan’s ‘Last Card’ Yet to Play
PTI Founder Holds a ‘Final Card,’ Yet to Be Played: Aleema Khan
RAWALPINDI: In a statement that has added fuel to the ongoing political uncertainty in Pakistan, Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, revealed that her brother is holding onto a “final card” in the current political situation. Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Aleema confirmed that Imran Khan had indicated one more strategic move left in his arsenal. Still, she chose not to elaborate on what this “final card” might be. The cryptic message has sparked speculation about what action Imran Khan might take next as his political future hangs in the balance.
Imran Khan’s Health and Well-being: Aleema Dismisses Rumors
Amid growing concerns about the former Prime Minister’s health, Aleema Khan quickly addressed rumors about her brother’s condition. Dismissing the claims as baseless, Aleema clarified that Imran Khan had laughed upon hearing the fake reports about his health. She reassured the public that he remains healthy and maintains his fitness through regular exercise. Her comments sought to end widespread speculation and reaffirmed that Imran Khan is physically well despite imprisonment.
Bushra Bibi’s Leadership During Protests
Aleema Khan also took the opportunity to praise the leadership of Bushra Bibi, the wife of Imran Khan, during the PTI protests on November 24. According to Aleema, Bushra Bibi took charge of the protests and led from the front, a role that she believes should have been shared by other party leaders as well. She stated, “Bushra Bibi led the protests; other leaders should have also stood on the container alongside her.” This statement highlights the importance of unity and leadership within the party as PTI faced mounting challenges during the protests.
Imran Khan’s Custody and Treatment in Isolation
Further shedding light on the conditions in which her brother is being held, Aleema Khan revealed disturbing details about Imran Khan’s treatment in custody. She stated that the former Prime Minister had been isolated for 40 to 50 hours without access to newspapers or state-run television channels. This isolation left Imran Khan largely unaware of the developments taking place outside his cell, highlighting the stringent and oppressive conditions under which he is being kept.
PTI Leaders Speak Out Amid Growing Tensions
In addition to Aleema Khan’s remarks, Salman Akram Raja, the Secretary-General of PTI, made a statement about Imran Khan’s current situation. He confirmed that the PTI leader had not been moved from Adiala Jail to another location but hinted at the possibility of a transfer to a different cell. The news has raised concerns about the former Prime Minister’s safety and well-being as he continues to face political and legal pressure.
Raja also addressed the situation in Punjab, where PTI faced significant challenges during the November 24 protests. He described the situation as akin to a curfew, with party workers struggling to gather large numbers for the protest. While some reached Islamabad, thousands could not participate due to the clampdown. Raja emphasized that despite the difficulties, PTI leaders in Punjab remain committed to the party and face severe hardships due to their political activities.
Salman Akram Raja Withdraws Resignation Amid Tensions
Salman Akram Raja, who had earlier submitted his resignation from the position of PTI Secretary-General due to mounting criticism of the party’s leadership after the Islamabad protests, has now decided to withdraw his resignation. Raja confirmed that he would address the issue later, but for now, he has chosen to remain within the party’s fold. The move has raised questions about the internal dynamics within PTI, as party leaders are under increasing pressure due to the fallout from the protests.
Raja resigned after PTI retreated from D-Chowk in Islamabad, an action criticized by many within the party. The withdrawal of PTI workers from the protest site has increased scrutiny of the party’s leadership, and Raja’s return signals a potential attempt to stabilize the situation internally.
The Road Ahead for PTI and Imran Khan
As the political landscape in Pakistan continues to evolve, PTI’s future seems uncertain, with internal divisions and external pressures mounting. Imran Khan’s “final card” remains a mystery; many are waiting to see his following action. Whether it is a political move, a legal challenge, or another form of resistance, the party’s next steps will be crucial in determining its future direction.
The party is currently navigating a crucial turning point in its journey. The leadership of figures like Bushra Bibi, the growing influence of Aleema Khan, and the resilience of party members like Salman Akram Raja will all play a role in shaping the outcome of this ongoing political saga. Only time will tell if Imran Khan’s “final card” will be enough to turn the tide in his favor and for PTI to regain its political momentum.
