Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf reported the detention of Aleema Khan, sister of party founder Imran Khan, under the Maintenance of Public Order ordinance.
Authorities in Lahore have detained Aleema Khan, sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party claims she was abducted, while official reports indicate detention under the Maintenance of Public Order ordinance. The arrest occurred shortly before a planned party protest.
This action follows a pattern of pressure on the PTI and its leadership. The detention of Aleema Khan, occurring just days before a significant demonstration demanding Imran Khan's release, suggests an effort to preemptively disrupt opposition activities and manage political dissent in Pakistan.
