KP Chief Minister Blocked From Court-Ordered Visit to Imran Khan at Adiala Jail

Punjab’s governor says there is no reason to deny the meeting if no legal hurdles exist.

Overview

  • Sohail Afridi said jail authorities refused him access to the PTI founder despite Islamabad High Court directions restoring twice‑weekly meetings.
  • Police stopped the KP chief minister near Adiala Jail, prompting a brief PTI sit‑in before his delegation left the area.
  • Afridi called his attempt a constitutional consultation to seek policy guidance for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying he exhausted administrative channels before litigating.
  • At a Charsadda rally, he declared that KP governance will follow Imran Khan’s directives and urged party workers to prepare for a forthcoming plan of action.
  • Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider publicly backed Afridi’s right to visit, while KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi floated a parliamentary jirga to engage the federation.
