Overview
- Sohail Afridi sent a letter on October 29 to the Islamabad High Court via the advocate general asking to register contempt proceedings against Adiala Jail officials and requesting a certified copy of the court’s order.
- The Islamabad High Court had permitted meetings, yet Afridi says he was turned away for a third time and briefly protested outside the prison after a constable blocked his entry.
- Imran Khan’s sisters, who met him in jail, said he endorsed a small cabinet and proposed no names, with party communications to be routed through Salman Akram Raja.
- PTI insiders indicated the cabinet is planned after the October 30 Senate elections to avoid rifts, while Afridi maintains he needs access to Khan for policy guidance.
- Afridi met the Peshawar Corps Commander to review security as KP records hundreds of attacks this year, reiterated opposition to new military operations in tribal districts, and alleged Punjab halted wheat supplies to KP.
