Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, once again engaged in a verbal spat.
While they were at Adiala jail to attend the new Toshakhana case hearing, not only were the two involved in the spat, but it also included Khan’s lawyer Faisal Chaudhry as well as Mashal Yousafzai, the spokesperson of Bushra Bibi, Khan’s wife.
According to sources, disagreements among PTI leaders emerged regarding the November 24 protest — which took place on the call of the former prime minister.
Bushra Bibi reportedly briefed the PTI founder on the protest, following which a discussion on the matter began within the courtroom.
During the briefing, Bushra Bibi informed the PTI founder that no significant mobilisation had occurred from Punjab for the protest.
Barrister Gohar intervened, saying that 5,000 individuals from Punjab had been arrested. He further briefed the PTI founder about the crackdown and mass arrests targeting the party in Punjab.
Aleema then questioned Chaudhry about the lack of access to newspapers and other facilities for the PTI founder.
In response, the lawyer said that he was doing everything within his capacity and raised concerns about why senior party officials were not actively approaching the court.
Khan’s sister also inquired about the monitoring commission previously set up by the Islamabad High Court.
Interjecting, Yousafzai accused Chaudhry of obstructing the commission’s work, to which he replied that the commission was court-mandated and beyond his influence.
