Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, President of PTI, has accused the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union of routinely visiting Imran Khan at Adiala Jail. The interim government has dismissed these claims as a “figment of imagination.” Elahi stated that representatives from the EU and IMF visit Imran, and that the party chief is poised to secure an unprecedented number of votes in the upcoming polls. He also mentioned that they are standing with Imran and will continue doing so. He emphasized that there will be no rigging in the upcoming elections.
Elahi also appeared before Magistrate Tanveer Ahmed Sheikh in a money laundering case, during which the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) sought to designate Elahi’s son, Moonis Elahi, as an absconder in the case. The FIA urged the court to declare Moonis as an absconder, facilitating law enforcement agencies in pursuing his arrest through Interpol.
In addition, Elahi was brought before another local court concerning a case involving unauthorized appointments in the Punjab Assembly. The judicial magistrate extended the PTI president’s judicial remand by 14 days. Elahi has been arrested at least 12 times in various cases since the start of June, after a statewide crackdown was launched against the party following the May 9 violence.
