Aleema Khan, a sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan, has announced that his sons Sulaiman and Qasim will join the party’s protest movement once they return from the United States.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail after meeting her incarcerated brother and his wife Bushra Bibi, Aleema Khan revealed that the party’s leader has completely ruled out negotiations and has instead announced a full-fledged protest movement, which he wants to reach its peak on August 5 — the day he completes two years in prison.

“The founder has given a clear message — the people must be ready for a powerful protest,” Aleema told reporters, flanked by her sisters. “He said those who cannot bear the weight of this movement should leave now.”

PTI founder’s sons not seeking permission

Aleema clarified that Imran Khan's sons, Qasim and Sulaiman, were going to America, but have informed their father of their intention to join the protest upon returning.

“We had stopped them earlier too,” she said. “But the children do not feel the need to take their father's permission — they are simply informing him of their decision.”

Full family support for protest

Aleema Khan emphasized that the entire family stands united with the PTI founder and will fully participate in the protest movement, which is being positioned as a turning point in the party’s ongoing struggle.

“We will all be part of the protest,” she said. “This is not just about politics anymore — it’s about justice and the future of Pakistan.”
