A fiery clash unfolded on March 11, 2025, outside Adiala Jail between Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, and party lawyers.
The confrontation erupted after Aleema and her family met the jailed ex-prime minister. At the entrance, she accused the lawyers of mismanaging his case and questioned their motives, insisting only authorized figures should see him. “No lawyer without responsibility gets in,” she declared.
Aleema restricted legal filings to Salman Akram and Salman Safdar, slamming others for “drama.” “We love our brother and would die for him,” she said, frustrated by Imran’s lack of access to his kids and books.
She targeted Naeem Punjota, PTI’s focal person for Bushra Bibi, asking, “Who do you meet?” Punjota denied meetings, but Aleema snapped, “Don’t be rude,” sparking a heated back-and-forth until lawyers stepped in.
Aleema pressed the group on their failure to secure relief for Imran, who remains incarcerated. “His books aren’t reaching him,” she fumed. Punjota cited his jail struggles, but Aleema silenced him, alleging disrespect. As lawyers pulled him aside, her demands for accountability echoed, leaving PTI’s legal team under scrutiny amid rising family tensions.
