Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Alima Khan has stated that the social media and the public are aware of the traitors within the party, and they have complete information about the situation. Speaking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court, she claimed that her brothers’ issue is a concern, as the party’s founder Imran Khan is actively involved in politics. “We will now speak openly for our brother,” she said, “and it doesn’t matter if Mohsin Nawaz is present or not.”
Alima Khan further stated that party leaders who wish to speak up will do so, and it’s not necessary for her to know what’s happening within the party. She claimed that the party’s leadership is completely silent, and even party lawyers and members of the assembly claim that the vote belongs to the founder. “Bani has always said that this is a theoretical party, so the party’s division over Mohsin Nawaz’s statement is beyond our comprehension,” she said.
Alima Khan also stated that as the honorary member of the party’s founder, she has no signature or fingerprints on any documents related to the case. She claimed that the party’s leadership has repeatedly instructed lawyers to file cases but failed to do so.
During her press conference, Alima Khan questioned Barrister Gohar, Latif Khosa, and Barrister Ali Zafar, asking where they were and why they weren’t filing cases. She accused the party’s leadership of not responding to Mohsin Nawaz’s statement and instead blaming them.
The PTI leader also stated that the party’s leadership has silenced doctors and is pressuring government doctors, while her party’s doctors are available. “We want the party to do something about this,” she said, “and we want to know what Mohsin Nawaz will tell us about his family or the party.”
Regarding the party’s advisory committee, Alima Khan stated that no committee can be formed without her consent, and she must be consulted on any decisions related to the party’s founder’s health.
