ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has taken back its protest on D Chawk in Islamabad on Oct 15 (tomorrow).

PTI Chairman Barrister made this announcement and said that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi contacted him and assured him of allowing his doctors to see the PTI founder on Tuesday morning and examine him.

On the assurance of the interior minister, they had decided to withdraw the protest call, he said.

Earlier in the day, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi assured Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Barrister Gohar that a meeting with Imran Khan in Adiala Jail may be arranged on Monday, according to sources.

However, a spokesperson for the ministry clarified that Naqvi has only assured that Khan’s request will be “considered.”

Sources suggest the meeting could potentially take place in the jail later on Monday. Naqvi and Gohar reportedly spoke over the phone, during which Gohar requested that a meeting with Imran Khan be arranged and that Khan’s personal physician be granted access to him in jail.

The Interior Ministry spokesperson confirmed the call occurred but emphasized that Naqvi only assured the request would be reviewed. The spokesperson also noted that granting meetings only to Imran Khan would constitute preferential treatment.

Imran Khan is currently incarcerated in Adiala Jail alongside his wife, Bushra Bibi. Jail authorities have imposed a ban on all inmate meetings until October 18 due to security concerns related to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Islamabad.
