Opposition leader in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan has stated that the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan was being served unhygienic food in Adiala Jail Rawalpindi.
Speaking to journalists outside the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Rawalpindi, Omar Ayub Khan claimed, “Imran Khan was given substandard food, which caused him to vomit.”
The opposition leader further stated that their stance is correct on the matter that the electricity in Khan’s cell was also cut off; even proper water was not served to Khan.
Omar Ayub Khan further stated that they (party leadership) saluted Bushra Bibi’s bravery and greatness for enduring nine months in jail and added that “Harpic” was even mixed into her food, but she stood firm like an iron wall.
“She has been granted bail with honour,” he added.
Earlier, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Barrister Gohar Khan, following his meeting with Khan in Adiala Jail, had also alleged that the electricity supply to Imran Khan’s cell was suspended for five days and that he was allowed only two and a half hours out of his cell.
Meanwhile, in an official statement, the Adiala Jail authorities, responding to PTI’s concern over the food menu to Khan last week, disclosed the food menu of incarcerated Imran Khan.
Adiala Jail authorities had claimed, “Khan’s breakfast consists of coffee, chia seeds, beetroot juice, yoghurt, chapati, biscuits and dates. For lunch, he is served traditional curry, local chicken, chapati, salad, green tea, and mutton.”
“Dinner includes porridge, coconut, coconut juice and grapes, all prepared under the supervision of an assistant superintendent,” jail authorities added.
