Ex-premier Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan has said that though her incarcerated brother had been offered a “deal”, his reply was that the PTI’s “stolen mandate be returned”.

Speaking to reporters, Aleema said, “What does a deal mean? It means to remain silent. What else will it be?

“Imran Khan had only said that the people’s stolen mandate be returned. That’s it. Or else, this economy which is going into a ditch, will keep going downwards.”
