ISLAMABAD: Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has strongly criticized the party leadership, accusing senior officials of making decisions without consulting the founder’s family and failing to support him during his medical treatment.
Speaking at the Islamabad High Court, Aleema Khan said the party leadership was acting as if Imran Khan’s health issues were already resolved. She urged that anyone within PTI who “cannot carry the burden of the founder’s vision” should step aside, and emphasized that no statements or decisions regarding her brother’s health should be made without family approval.
Aleema Khan expressed concern that government doctors were reportedly facing pressure from authorities. The family will now speak to the media rather than using closed-door party meetings as their communication method.
She also criticized party leaders for their inadequate legal management because she wanted to know why Barrister Gohar and Latif Khosa and Barrister Ali Zafar had not appeared to handle important cases. Aleema Khan specifically mentioned concerns over claims made by Mohsin Naqvi and the lack of counteraction from party leaders.
She warned that the family would now speak out publicly to protect Imran Khan’s interests and criticized the party’s legal team for failing to pursue cases in the Supreme Court and High Court effectively.
Aleema Khan concluded that irrespective of what party leaders do, the family will continue to speak out and take responsibility for matters related to the PTI founder’s health and legal affairs.
Marwat accuses Aleema Khan of weakening PTI
Earlier, former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and National Assembly member Sher Afzal Marwat has accused Aleema Khan of causing “irreparable damage” to the party.
Talking to a private news channel, Marwat said Aleema Khan had mobilized a social media campaign against him. He added that she could take legal action if she wished, but her actions had already harmed PTI significantly.
Marwat accused Aleema Khan of attacking everyone inside the political group because she treated all members as her subordinate. He stated that Ali Amin Gandapur who serves as a senior PTI official commands a powerful position in the organization because 25 MPAs and other supporters back him.
Marwat observed that internal political activities within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa faced ongoing conspiracy attacks which targeted party leadership during the previous month. The party will experience ongoing instability because Chief Minister candidate selections and legal challenges will keep occurring.
The remarks made by Marwat demonstrate how PTI faces internal conflicts between different factions which occur while party leaders make their tactical choices to prepare for future political events.
