LAHORE: Officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union “routinely” visit Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, claimed the party’s incarcerated President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi on Thursday.
However, the Punjab prisons department spokesperson dismissed Elahi’s claim and termed it “baseless and against the facts”.
Talking to journalists in the courtroom in Lahore, the PTI president — where he was brought in connection with the hearing of a money laundering case lodged against him — said that Khan was incarcerated in a cell adjacent to his in the prison.
“Representatives from the EU and the IMF [routinely] visit Imran,” he claimed.
Responding to a question about the upcoming polls — slated to be held on February 8, 2024 — the former Punjab chief minister said that the ousted prime minister would secure an unprecedented number of votes. “There will be no rigging in this election,” he said, adding that the polls’ date was announced on the directions of the top court. –Agencies
