Senior figures within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party have reportedly voiced their concerns regarding Aleema Khan’s involvement in party matters. According to sources, these issues were brought to the attention of PTI founder Imran Khan, highlighting Aleema’s perceived interference, particularly her public criticisms of the party leadership, which some members feel are not well-founded.
Insiders within PTI suggest that Aleema’s visits to Imran Khan while he is in jail have sparked misunderstandings among party members. A senior leader from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has specifically raised alarms about certain individuals Aleema has been associating with, which has further fueled the anxiety surrounding her role in party dynamics.
In light of these concerns, Imran Khan has advised party leaders to disregard Aleema’s statements, reiterating that her primary objective is to focus on his release rather than to participate in party politics. He appears to be attempting to delineate her personal agenda from the broader party strategy, urging unity among the leadership.
In recent developments, Aleema Khan, along with her sister Uzma Khan, faced legal challenges after being detained during a protest at Islamabad’s D-Chowk. They were granted post-arrest bail by an anti-terrorism court, with Judge Abual Hasnaat Zulqarnain approving their release upon surety bonds of Rs20,000 each, after reviewing arguments presented by both sides.
This situation reflects the ongoing tensions within PTI, as leaders navigate both internal party dynamics and external pressures while grappling with the implications of Imran Khan’s legal challenges. The party’s focus remains on cohesion and strategic direction amid the shifting landscape of Pakistani politics.
