\nLAHORE:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imran Khan the incarcerated\u00a0 founding leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)\u00a0has urged President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to ensure proper jail facilities through a letter penned by his counsel, Azhar Siddique.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Siddiqui, who is the head of the Judicial Activism Panel said through the letter that the PTI chief was\u00a0not being provided with the facilities mandated by law and was being denied visits from people.<\/p>\n

“Why is there an obstruction in Imran Khan’s meetings?” the letter questions, emphasising the need for Khan to be given basic amenities in prison.<\/p>\n

Imran’s counsel said that if these conditions were not met, the ex-PM would take the matter to the higher courts.<\/p>\n

During a court appearance on Friday, Imran expressed his lack of confidence in Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa. Khan announced his intention to go on a hunger strike, stating, “I will announce the final date for the hunger strike after consulting with my lawyers.”<\/p>\n

The same day the PTI\u2019s incarcerated founder announced that his party will be attending an all-party conference (APC) that the government plans to convene to assuage concerns over\u00a0\u2018Azm-e-Istehkam Vision\u2019, which is aimed at dismantling the nexus of terrorism\u00a0in the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking from Rawalpindi\u2019s Adiala Jail, where he is serving a prison term, the beleaguered former prime minister said that his party\u2019s members would attend the multi-party confab as \u201cobservers,\u201d adding that he has made the decision in \u201cPakistan\u2019s best interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
