He also recalled that Imran Khan\u2019s sisters were previously prevented from visiting him, subjected to rough and degrading treatment outside Adiala Jail.<br \/>\nAfridi condemned these actions as deliberate attempts to break Imran Khan. He also strongly criticized the ongoing harassment of Bushra Bibi, describing her as a dignified and respectable woman being subjected to undue mental and physical distress to pressure Imran Khan.<br \/>\nThe Chief Minister further noted that Imran Khan is being denied contact with his family, and even basic necessities and essential winter items are not being delivered, despite harsh weather conditions. He emphasized that such actions have no place in a civilized society.<br \/>\nReflecting on the broader implications, Afridi compared the current restrictions to the past treatment of political figures who fled abroad, noting that previously they could openly meet with families and party delegations.<br \/>\n\u201cToday, even court-approved meetings are being denied,\u201d he said, signaling that KP\u2019s government will continue to pursue legal and constitutional channels to ensure the rights and access of the PTI leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Muhammad Sohail Afridi, addressing the media outside Adiala Jail following an overnight sit-in, expressed deep concern over the non-implementation of court orders concerning PTI founding Chairman Imran Khan.
