Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan said the PTI chief has termed the February 8 elections “mother of all rigging”.

Aleema met her brother at Adiala Jail today. In a media talk afterwards, she said the public’s mandate was “stolen” in the aftermath of the elections. She stated that Imran strongly condemned the suspension of internet services, which he claimed was used to “hide the real results”.

According to Aleema, Imran also expressed concerns regarding the safety of the former Rawalpindi commissioner. “Now Khan sahib wants all this to end […] he demands the real mandate of the public should be handed over,” she added.
