Imran Khan's sister moves to ease tensions with PTI leadership amid calls for his release

Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 06:37 · 1 min read

Aleema Khan, sister of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, sought to defuse an internal dispute within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party on Tuesday, clarifying that she holds no official party position and is focused solely on securing her brother's release from Adiala jail. Her comments came after she had publicly criticised PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja over his handling of Imran's imprisonment, prompting Raja to threaten resignation and claim Imran himself had said his sister did not understand politics. Separately, PTI's information secretary condemned the continued denial of access to Imran and his wife, citing a recent Amnesty International report as evidence of a broader crackdown on civil liberties and political opposition in Pakistan.
