When it came time to pass the budget, Gandapur said that even then, they struggled to secure a meeting with Imran Khan. He claimed organized campaigns were underway to promote Aleema Khan as PTI’s next leader. “I told Khan sahib that, to my knowledge, Military Intelligence is facilitating Aleema Khan in this process,” he said. Gandapur’s remarks came shortly after Aleema Khan spoke to reporters outside Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan remains incarcerated.
