Aleema confronts Gauhar and Salman over the death claims.

Rawalpindi: PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan had a heated exchange with party chairman Barrister Gauhar Khan and Barrister Salman Akram Raja in the courtroom of Adiala Jail over claims of killings during the party’s protest in the capital.

During the Tosha Khana 2 case hearing, Aleema Khan took Gohar and Salman to task over the death toll in the D Chowk protest. He questioned Gauhar’s report of 12 deaths, but stood by the figure, citing the need for verification to include more details.

He asked Gauhar if he knew how many PTI protesters had gone missing. Barrister Gauhar said that they have formed teams which are working on it. On this occasion, Salman Akram Raja supported Gauhar, saying that the party is busy gathering all the details and assured him that he will not let go of the matter. Gohar insisted that he had only 12 confirmed deaths and questioned how anyone could claim hundreds of martyrs without concrete evidence. Alima asked him if he had gone to the house of the dead and injured. Gohar said that Salman should be asked about this as he had gone to the house of the worker who fell from the container. Salman intervened and asked how the activists who appeared in the courts could be called missing.

Meanwhile, Aleema Khan said that her brother wanted to show his card but she asked him to wait and told him about it first.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, he said that Imran Khan said that he is going to make his card public soon and we asked him to tell us about it first.

“We told him not to do that. We already know what card he wants to play,” he added.

According to him, Imran Khan made a brief comment and left saying it was not meant for public disclosure.

After meeting her brother in jail a few days ago, Alimah revealed that her brother had told her that he still had the last card. He explained that the PTI founder boycotted the hearing of the £190 million case because there was no media around. “Why am I brought here when the media is not there,” he said, referring to his brother.

Alimah said she felt bad when the party’s founder was brought to appear in the anti-terrorism court. The courts have been running for the past 12 months, he pointed out, adding that today was a spectacle as the £190 million scandal case was heard in a small room.

Alima said that 70-80 people met PTI founder today. We were not allowed to go to the anti-terrorism court. Maybe they don’t want the family to meet the party founder,” he noted.

Aleema Khan expressed her satisfaction that the charge sheets have started in the May 9 cases. He stressed the importance of identifying those detained and proceeding with charges against each. He accused the government of trying to erase the evidence of the incidents.

She expressed her concern about the missing persons in Pakistan, claiming that she knew about the issue. He asked lawyers to visit the injured first, and alleged that victims were being threatened at their homes to avoid testifying.

Talking to the media after the hearing, Sheikh Rasheed said that after meeting Imran Khan after a long time, the PTI founder hugged and kissed him. The former minister said that he was very happy to meet the PTI founder and had a long conversation with him in the courtroom afterwards.
