KP CM Denied Meeting Imran Khan in Jail
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, was not allowed to meet Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI party, who is in jail.
This happened for the 10th time.
The Chief Minister said it was strange that he, as an elected leader, was not allowed to meet Khan, even though the court said he should be allowed.
The police at the jail said the meeting could not happen.
Imran Khan's sisters and other PTI members were protesting outside the jail because they were also not allowed to meet him.
The authorities used water cannons to disperse the protesters.
The Chief Minister warned that the federal and Punjab governments would face consequences when the PTI returns to power.
He also suggested that the government should talk to the people Imran Khan has authorized to represent him in negotiations.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was denied permission to meet Imran Khan in Adiala Jail for the 10th time.
