Islamabad. Big news has come out regarding the release of Imran Khan, who was lodged behind the walls of the jail. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's son Qasim Khan said in an interview that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government might have offered his father to settle the case and release him from jail. Qasim said that he finds it difficult to imagine seeing his father again. He said that he is ready to do anything, so that his father can come out of jail.
Qasim wants his father to make a deal with the government. However, it is not yet clear whether the government has actually offered any deal or not. Pakistan's Information Minister Ataullah Tarar did not immediately respond to this.
What did Qasim tell?
Qasim said that if you listen to me, I would like father to accept this deal. He also admitted that he does not have complete information about what is happening on the ground. He has not even spoken to his father for more than seven months. He also said that he does not expect his father to say yes to the deal. The reason is that there are many other political prisoners in the jail, including some of their family members.
Qasim said that I want to talk to him. The Supreme Court had ordered that we could talk to them, but many orders were not followed. He is a very strong willed person. They know there are more political prisoners. Now some of the family members are also in jail, so it is difficult for them to say yes.
There was to be a protest regarding the release
Imran Khan's health is said to be poor in recent months. The eyesight of one eye has also reduced considerably. He was also taken to the hospital several times for medical examination. Meanwhile, Imran Khan's party PTI had planned protests across the country. It is said that it was postponed due to the possibility of negotiations.
Let us tell you that Imran Khan is in jail in corruption cases. These include the 14-year sentence awarded last year. His family and lawyers allege that he is being kept in poor conditions in jail. He says he spends 23 hours a day in a small cell without light and away from other prisoners. However, Pakistani officials have denied these allegations.
