Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Friday announced a blanket ban on meetings with incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan at Adiala jail, calling him an “extremist consumed by war hysteria”.
His comments came hours after Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry termed the PTI founder a “mentally ill person” and a threat to national security.
“Prisoner meetings are held in accordance with the law and established rules. There are no meetings; all meetings are banned,” Tarar said while speaking on Geo News’ programme “Naya Pakistan”.
