RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters remain resolute in their determination to meet their brother at Adiala Jail, despite the ongoing tensions, ARY News reported.
According to reports, 11 PTI workers, including Imran Khan’s sisters, have voluntarily surrendered themselves. The sisters, along with PTI workers, sat down on the lawn of a wedding hall.
Among those present were Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Aliya Hamza, Shafqat Awan, Niazullah Niazi, Raja Yasir Hasnain, and Hamid Khan, who joined Imran Khan’s sisters.
SHO Saddar, Owais Azim, offered to send Aleema Khan and the other sisters home, but Aleema Khan remains adamant, insisting that she will not leave without meeting her brother, Imran Khan.
She is determined to continue her protest unless granted the meeting.
Sources reveal that heavy police presence has been stationed at the wedding hall’s gate to prevent any potential unrest.

Earlier, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari denied reports of the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters.
According to reports, Azma Bukhari stated that the Punjab Police did not arrest any women, including founder’s sisters.
She clarified that Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, and others used an “online car service” to travel and voluntarily boarded a police van, later getting off at Khawaja Service Station.
She further claimed that the footage revealed the truth behind what she called a “drama” staged to falsely show sympathy for Imran Khan.
Azma Bukhari accused the PTI leadership of orchestrating a failed show in an attempt to gain public sympathy.
Bukhari also commented on Imran Khan’s conditions in jail, stating that he was living in royal comfort while his wife, Bushra Bibi, continued to demand better facilities despite receiving a ‘B-class’ prison status.
She added that PTI workers had gathered outside Adiala Jail and claimed these workers were tired of the party’s divisive politics, highlighting the contradictions in the leadership’s actions.
She also remarked that the leadership, which once claimed to bring a revolution, had failed to improve the conditions of its supporters, who were now humiliated on the streets.
