The incarcerated Preside of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, has claimed on Thursday that officers from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union “routinely” visit party chief Imran Khan in Adiala jail in Rawalpindi.
The claim was categorically rejected by the spokesman of Punjab prisons department, declaring it “baseless and against the facts”.
Speaking to journalists in a courtroom in Lahore, the PTI president said that Imran Khan was locked up in a cell next to his in jail.
“Representatives from the EU and the IMF [routinely] visit Imran,” he claimed.
The former chief minister also said, while responding to a question about upcoming elections, that Khan will get unusual votes in the forthcoming polls.
“There will be no rigging in this election,” he said, adding that the polls’ date was announced at the orders of the top court.
Chaudhry Parvez Elahi further said that he is with Imran Khan and will continue to support the former prime minister.
