Aleema Khan arrested , transferred to jail , Noreen Khan's daughter , son-in-law arrested, released


Several leaders arrested in Islamabad too, Tehreek-e-Insaf

Imran Khan's sister detained by Liton Road Police under 3MPO, ​​arrests tantamount to inciting tension, Barrister Gohar, Raja Nasir Abbas

Hajra Niazi is the daughter of Hafizullah Niazi, decision to dig trenches on the routes coming from Peshawar to Islamabad, no group will be allowed to come to Islamabad Atta Tarar

          Lahore: Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan was arrested under 3MPO. Aleema Khan has been detained under 3MPO. According to party sources, Aleema Khan was taken into custody when she left her house in Upper Mall to go to the gym. Sources say that Aleema Khan was detained by the Liton Road police and her car is parked at the police station. PTI sources say that Aleema Khan has been shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail. The police requested the DC and he rejected the order of 3MPO. After Aleema Khan, the police detained Hajra Niazi, daughter of Noreen Niazi and sister of Hassan Niazi, and her husband, but they were released after some time. In view of the call for a long march, the series of arrests and detentions continues in Lahore. Hajra Niazi and her husband were detained by the police near Aleema Khan's house. According to family sources, the police stopped both of them at the checkpoint and checked them, after which they were taken into custody. According to sources, after being detained, Hajra Niazi And her husband were taken to different police stations. Both were released after being kept in police custody for some time.


        Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar says that Noreen Niazi told him about Aleema Khan’s arrest over the phone, we have always made it clear that our march will be peaceful and political, our aim is to peacefully struggle for our constitutional and political demands. Barrister Gohar says that we do not want any kind of clash or violence, arresting or detaining Aleema Khan is tantamount to inciting violence and tension, we strongly condemn the arrest, this is the first step to worsen the situation, all these steps should be stopped immediately and Aleema Khan should be released immediately, the party will soon give its action plan against such steps.



        In addition, the Movement for the Protection of the Constitution of Pakistan has strongly condemned the arrest of Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan. According to the spokesperson, first Imran Khan was unjustly kept in jail and now the women of his family are also being subjected to political revenge. Taking a housewife is tantamount to crossing all limits of state oppression and political revenge. According to the spokesperson, Aleema Khan never picked up a gun, threw stones at anyone, or created any problem or law and order situation for the people, yet her arrest is clear proof of this. The scope of political revenge has now extended beyond political activists to women in the homes. We condemn this move of the Punjab government in the strongest terms. This action exposes the true face of the Punjab government and the current oppressive system. Responding to political differences through arrests and targeting women instead of arguments, negotiations, and democratic processes is unacceptable under any circumstances. The government should immediately release Aleema Khan, as this practice of targeting women further highlights the weakness of this oppressive system and the severity of its political crisis.

            Opposition Leader in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has said that Aleema Khan’s arrest shows that the government is afraid of the September 27 march, which is why it is making arrests. PTI founder Imran Khan's sister Noreen Khan had a telephone conversation with Opposition Leader in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas. Allama Nasir Abbas said that this government is nervous. The determination of your sisters encourages the workers and the nation. Your and Imran Khan's struggle is a metaphor for resistance against oppression in Pakistan. You are standing with the Constitution of Pakistan and the people while enduring hardships. We condemn the arrest of Aleema Khan and this government is nervous. Her arrest exposes the government's nervousness. The government is afraid of September 27, which is why it is making arrests. Raja Nasir Abbas said that Aleema Khan's arrest is a sign of unconstitutional and illegal tactics. Aleema Khan was not leading any protest. She had left home for her personal work. In the wake of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s planned protest on September 27, PTI sources have claimed that several party leaders have been arrested in Islamabad. 

       According to PTI sources, Mian Muhammad Ghaus, Sanaullah Mastikhel and Senator Saifullah Niazi were detained near Express Chowk after leaving the Parliament Lodges and shifted to an unknown location. The sources further claimed that PTI MNAs Dawar Khan and Hamad Jamal Hassan Khan were arrested near Radio Pakistan Chowk in Mianwali, while the operation was carried out under the supervision of SHO Secretariat Saleem Raza. However, independent confirmation of these arrests has not yet been revealed by the police or any official source.

         Islamabad: A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Opposition Leader Mahmood Achakzai of the Movement for the Protection of the Constitution of Pakistan. The opposition alliance has decided to call an all-party conference to end the political and economic crisis.


         According to the statement of the opposition alliance, the long march on September 27 will be a peaceful, constitutional and democratic struggle. On September 27, the people's right to rule will be taken back on the basis of popular power. All democratic political forces have gathered on one platform to bring the country out of the crisis. Inflation, unemployment, petrol prices, law and order are among the main agenda of the September 27 protest.

The statement said that the non-representative government has no authority to break up provinces or simply divide them into administrative units. Such proposals are harmful to the federation, national unity and federal structure. The provinces cannot be deprived of their constitutional rights in any referendum or in any other way.

      The meeting especially emphasized the maintenance of the current geographical and administrative status of Sindh. The meeting demanded a direct meeting with PTI founder Imran Khan and provision of accurate information about his health. Raids on the homes of PTI workers, arrests, and violation of the sanctity of the chador and four walls were condemned. We condemn the behavior displayed during Sohail Afridi's visit to Punjab. According to the statement, it was agreed to immediately restore border trade, reject the Mines and Minerals Act, and demand that the relevant provinces and local populations be taken into confidence in decisions related to natural resources. The meeting discussed domestic politics, the ongoing crisis in the Middle East and its impact on Pakistan.
