Aleema Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has claimed that her brother urged the military to remain neutral during a recent meeting.

Speaking to the media at Adiala Jail, Aleema Khan said that she and other family members met with Imran Khan, but lawyers were not allowed access. She alleged that the Adiala Jail is under the control of the military.

According to Aleema Khan, Imran Khan told his family that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) are morally bankrupt and that the current government is deliberately trying to create a rift between the PTI and the armed forces.

Imran Khan said that the military is the backbone of Pakistan, Aleema Khan stated.

She added that Imran does not want the military and the people to be pitted against each other.

“How will the country move forward without the rule of law and democracy? Businesses have been destroyed, and people are leaving the country,” she quoted Imran as saying.

She further claimed that Imran Khan urged the military to maintain neutrality.
