Founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Thursday filed a petition in Islamabad High Court (IHC), emphasizing the crucial need for the court’s intervention in the matter of intelligence officials interfering in prison affairs.
In the petition filed through his counsel Shoaib Shaheen, Khan made the startling revelation that the prison is effectively under the control of two intelligence officials.
He also stated that despite IHC’s orders, the superintendent of Adiala Jail didn’t allow him to meet with party members.
“This whole process has been dealt with by the colonel and major of ISI who create interference and indulgence in the civil administration due to having a mala fide intention against the petitioner and due to their interference the petitioner is unable to consult with party leadership and his fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution are not protected,” said Khan in his petition.
He also said that Nawaz Sharif, when he was imprisoned, was allowed to meet with more than 15 people a day without any interruptions.
