Lawyers of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan met him in prison to discuss a proposed constitutional overhaul and political issues, according to a senior member of his party. The meeting, which lasted four hours, took place at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. It followed an order from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directing authorities to facilitate consultations between Khan and his wife with their legal team.
The discussion included the takeover of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which was under Khan’s party control, by the federal government. The legal team also addressed broader political matters, including the constitutional changes that could impact the country’s governance structure. The IHC had previously ordered the release of Khan on bail, but he remains in custody.
Imran Khan was arrested in 2019 over allegations of corruption and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. His legal team has consistently argued that the charges against him are politically motivated. The recent meeting marks one of the few opportunities for Khan to engage directly with his lawyers while in detention. The proposed constitutional overhaul has sparked debate among political leaders and legal experts, with some calling for reforms to strengthen democratic institutions.
