RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, met lawyers Salman Safdar and Latif Khosa at Adiala Jail on Wednesday for consultations on pending cases and appeals.
Khosa described the discussions as primarily legal, although the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment also featured. He said Bushra Bibi attended the meeting in the prison’s conference room.
Wednesday’s consultation followed an Islamabad High Court order directing prison authorities to facilitate access to the couple’s legal team. On Tuesday, the court heard their appeals against convictions in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar issued the directions after the lawyers sought further consultations with their clients. Safdar had argued that his previous meeting allowed insufficient time to obtain detailed instructions.
Before entering the prison, Safdar told journalists he intended to discuss ongoing cases and obtain instructions from Imran. He had ruled out political discussions.
Afterwards, however, Khosa confirmed that the constitutional amendment had been part of their conversation, without disclosing Imran’s position.

Khosa described the former prime minister as cheerful and alert but said he continued to experience blood pressure and eye-related problems.
Separately, the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) said its doctors had examined Imran and administered a follow-up eye injection overnight. In a statement carried by The Express Tribune, the hospital said his vital signs were normal, and his condition remained clinically stable throughout the procedure.
Earlier on Wednesday, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said Safdar had conveyed Imran’s position on the proposed amendment after a previous meeting.
Raja planned to present those instructions to the party leadership and convene its parliamentary party, core committee and political committee. He did not publicly disclose the substance of Imran’s position. Khosa said Safdar would share further details of Wednesday’s consultation on Thursday.
