Minister says not only PTI founder’s lawyers but also his entire family including Bushra Bibi’s relatives meet him separately
LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 8th, 2025) Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari on Tuesday responded to Aleema Khan’s recent statement regarding jail visitations, criticizing what she called the special treatment demanded for the family of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
Bokhari remarked that not only the PTI founder’s lawyers but also his entire family including Bushra Bibi’s relatives, meet him separately. "Should we go ahead and organize a public rally inside the jail?" she said sarcastically.
She added, “The entire clan of the PTI founder meets him, Bushra Bibi’s family meets him separately, and his lawyers have separate meetings too. Just tell us what else needs to be done.”
Mocking the repeated requests for meetings, she asked, “Does this mean we should arrange a rally inside the prison so the PTI founder can address inmates as well?”
Speaking on the rule of law, Bokhari praised the Lahore traffic police for issuing a challan (traffic fine) to the Chief Minister’s son, calling it proof of equal application of the law in Punjab. “The law is now equal for everyone,” she stated.
She further criticized past practices, noting that “in the previous government, when the son of a former First Lady was issued a challan, the entire chain from the warden to the District Police Officer in Pakpattan was transferred.”
