PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan has said he is not being allowed to meet party founder Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Ayub said that despite having a court order, the jail superintendent was refusing to let him meet Imran even after an hour and a half of waiting outside the jail premises.

“Our rights are not being provided; where do we go to get justice?” the party’s candidate for prime minister asked.

“Should I go to the Lahore High Court, or the Islamabad High Court, or the Supreme Court in order to be heard?” he questioned. “Or should I go to an international court in order to meet our leader?”
