ISLAMABAD: Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) were once again denied permission on Thursday to meet incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan at Adiala jail.
The party had submitted a list of six individuals — Mehr Abdul Sattar, Shahid Iqbal, Shehzad Bhatti, Iqbal Khan Khattak, Syed Faiz-ul-Hasan Gilani and Sardar Faisal Nadeem — to the jail authorities seeking permission for the meeting.
It is pertinent to note that the Islamabad High Court has allowed Mr Khan’s family members to meet him on Tuesdays, while party leaders are permitted to meet him on Thursdays.
Chaudhry Awais Younas Advocate, who prepares and submits lists of prospective visitors at Gate No 3 of Adiala jail on Mondays and Wednesdays, told Dawn that all six leaders arrived outside the jail but were not allowed to meet the former premier.
