Imran Khan's Sister Aleema Khan Reveals Government's Offer Amidst Political Tensions in Pakistan

In Islamabad, Pakistan, discussions between the government and opposition parties, especially PTI, have stalled. Allegations of government interference and restrictions on PTI's access to its jailed leader, Imran Khan, have surfaced. Aleema Khan, Imran Khan's sister, disclosed that he was offered a deal to move from Adiala Jail to house arrest at his Banigala residence. She claimed these offers were communicated through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, suggesting silence in exchange for house arrest. However, both the government and PTI denied any official offer of transfer.

PTI negotiators demand "unmonitored access" to Imran Khan, but government representatives have denied this request. PTI leader Omar Ayub stated that spy equipment hindered open discussions. Barrister Gohar Ali Khan urged the government to resolve tensions and not focus on the lack of written demands from the opposition. PTI's main demands include the release of political prisoners and a judicial commission to investigate past violence.

Imran Khan has filed a petition in Islamabad's Special Judge Central Court, citing inhumane treatment in jail. His legal team highlighted restrictions on phone calls, medical visits, and access to media. The petition requests the court to allow phone calls with his children, medical attention, and media access. Additionally, Islamabad's court adjourned pre-arrest bail applications for Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, until January 28, with video presence required for the next hearing.

The ongoing political negotiations and legal proceedings add complexity to Pakistan's political landscape.
