The news of the death of former Prime Minister of Pakistan and head of Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) Imran Khan has created a stir in Pakistan. As soon as this news spread, his sister Alima Khanum and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi reached the jail to meet Imran Khan, but they were not allowed to meet him. After this, both he and PTI workers sat on a dharna outside the jail on Thursday (November 27, 2025). The protest ended on Friday morning. Later the jail administration said that Imran Khan is absolutely fine and rejected the news of his death. Imran Khan is currently lodged in Rawalpindi’s Adiyal jail.
Alima Khanum filed a contempt of court petition in the Islamabad High Court against the superintendent and other officials of Adiyal Jail after she was not allowed to meet her brother. He has filed this petition in the presence of Sohail Afridi and other PTI leaders.
The petition refers to the March 24 order of the Islamabad High Court, in which the court had given permission to meet Imran Khan twice a week. Imran Khan is lodged in Adiyal jail since August 2023. It has been said in the petition that the orders of the court have been deliberately not followed, due to which a request is made to initiate contempt proceedings. It specifically mentions not being allowed to meet Imran Khan.
The petition said that despite the instructions to allow meetings on Tuesday and Thursday, the defendants did not follow it nor implement it. The petition also states that Alima has been extremely concerned about her brother’s well-being, legal rights and humane treatment since he went to jail.
Those named in the petition include Adiyal Jail Superintendent Abdul Ghafoor Anjum, Officer-in-charge of Sadar Beroni police station Raja Aijaz Azim, Federal Home Secretary Captain (retd) Mohammad Khurram Aga and Punjab Home Department Secretary Noorul Amin. Apart from this, if he did not meet the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court, Afridi said that his party will not allow the Parliament session to continue.
Duniya News TV quoted Afridi as saying, ‘We got a message from the Chief Justice that he cannot meet us. We have decided that neither the National Assembly nor the Senate session will be allowed to continue today.
