PTI’s Sept 27 Protest Call Final, No Revision Will Be Made: Barrister Gohar

ISLAMABAD – PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has declared that the party’s call for a protest on September 27 is a final decision and there will be no revision to it, asserting that the purpose of the protest is not related to Imran Khan’s cases.

Speaking to media outside Adiala Jail, Gohar said the September 27 call has been made because the party is not being heard and cases are not being decided.

“The call is because we are not being heard, cases are not being decided,” he said, clarifying that Imran Khan’s meetings and hospital visits are court-mandated orders.

“Imran Khan’s hospital transfer is a court order, a larger bench order. We want meetings to be facilitated,” he added.

Aleema Khan: People’s Fear Has Ended
Separately, Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, also spoke to media outside Adiala Jail, saying that the time had come and authorities would not be able to stop the people now.

“The reason for their fear of Imran Khan is that he is a representative of the people, and the majority of people stand with him,” she said.

Aleema alleged that people were being arrested to instill fear so they would not come out on September 27, but “now people’s fear has ended.”

“With Allah’s will, they will not be able to stop the ocean of people on September 27,” she asserted.

She quoted Imran Khan as saying that people should come out for their rights and for their freedom against slavery. “Imran Khan is standing, now the people will stand for their rights. People are understanding what is about to happen in Pakistan,” she said.

“The thieves and robbers who are imposed on us, the day people come out for their rights, these people will be the first to catch a plane and leave,” Aleema claimed.

She also complained that for the past 18 months, the family has been coming to Adiala Jail but court orders are not being followed, no relief is being given, and meetings are arbitrarily held and then stopped.

“The government is openly committing contempt of court,” she alleged.

Aleema also pointed out that when she had to appear, 11 arrest warrants were issued, her accounts and ID card were blocked. She questioned why arrest warrants were not being issued against the prosecutor when she complied while the prosecutor did not appear.

Prisoners Challenge IHC Verdict on Imran Khan’s Medical Facilities
In a separate development, three inmates of Adiala Jail have challenged the Islamabad High Court’s verdict regarding medical facilities provided to PTI founder Imran Khan, taking the matter to the Federal Constitutional Court.

The petitioners have requested the court to declare the IHC decision null and void, arguing that Article 25 of the Constitution mandates equal treatment for all citizens.

“Therefore, they should also be provided with the medical facilities available to PTI founder Imran Khan,” the petition stated.

The petition noted that the Supreme Court’s order of August 18 remains in effect, in which the court had ordered Imran Khan’s transfer to Shifa International Hospital. The petitioners have requested the court to order their treatment at Shifa International Hospital as well and to provide WhatsApp-based communication with overseas contacts similar to Imran Khan’s facility.
