PTI founder stops Aleema Khan from involvement in party matters

The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has reportedly directed his sister, Aleema Khan, to refrain from interfering in the party’s internal matters. According to sources, two senior PTI leaders from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recently lodged complaints with the party founder, alleging that Aleema Khan had been providing him with misleading information regarding the provincial government. They further noted that their limited access to direct meetings with him had created unnecessary misunderstandings. The leaders emphasized that inaccurate reports attributed to Aleema Khan were the cause of concern, while Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s recent meeting with the PTI founder was specifically aimed at clearing up these misperceptions. It is worth mentioning that in August, Aleema Khan had denied any rift with Salman Akram Raja, stressing that he continues to serve as their legal counsel and is regarded as “like family.” Speaking to the media, she dismissed rumours of a dispute with Raja. “There has been no harsh exchange with Salman Akram Raja. He is our lawyer and like family. It might be a personal matter for him,” she said. When asked about the upcoming by-elections, she acknowledged that the matter is under discussion but stressed that any decision would ultimately be made by the party leadership. Commenting on the ongoing crackdown on PTI workers and supporters, Aleema Khan said, “Arrests won’t make a difference. I don’t understand why children are being picked up. I’ve also said they can arrest me too.
