The lawyer also said that the PTI chairman could be a victim of slow-poisoning via the food in Adiala jail because Khan informed his council that home-cooked food is not allowed.

Bajwa also stated in a media talk that Imran Khan told him that the secret agencies of Pakistan are doing all this.

PTI’s core committee is holding an urgent meeting about the information that Khan shared with his lawyers during a recent meeting.

Earlier, Khan was also worried about his health, and in a message through his family on October 28, he stated, “At the moment, I am physically fit. I would know if my body was experiencing changes from weakness. But they have already made two public attempts to take my life. Since I won’t agree to leave my country, there is, of course, a danger that they will try to make another attempt on my life while I am in jail. Such an attempt could also be through slow poisoning.”
