ISLAMABAD — ISLAMABAD: Lawyers representing the PTI met party founder and former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday, a day after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued orders allowing the meeting. On Tuesday, the IHC, while hearing appeals filed by Imran and his wife, Bushra Bibi, against their convictions in the £190 million reference , directed authorities to facilitate meetings between Imran and his legal team.
Subsequently, Barrister Salman Safdar and Advocate Latif Khosa met the incarcerated couple at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail, both confirmed in separate statements. Barrister Safdar said on X that a “nearly three-hour-long meeting with Imran Khan [ sahib ] and Bushra Bibi was allowed” by jail authorities. Meanwhile, Khosa also told reporters that the meeting lasted “3-4 hours” and included Bushra Bibi.
Safdar said that given the “extraordinary duration” of the meeting from 4-7pm, the legal and medical issues of both Imran and Bushra “were discussed in detail and comprehensive legal instructions were given by both”. He said that “categoric and clear instructions were given” that he (Safdar) would continue to represent the two in the main appeals of the Al Qadir Trust case in the High Court. In addition, he said that Advocate Khosa would assist the bench alongside him on Bushra Bibi’s pending petition before the IHC, relating to her eye complications and granting of relief.
