ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Monday that incarcerated party founder Imran Khan expressed sorrow over the casualties during a crackdown on the “final call” protesters in Islamabad and ordered the PTI lawmakers to take up the issue in both houses of parliament.

Speaking to the media after meeting jailed PTI founder in Adialia Jail, the party chief said Khan has directed to submit a requisition for the National Assembly and Senate session to discuss and protest over the deaths of protesters.

He said that it was the first meeting between the PTI leaders and Khan after the conclusion of the “final call” protest in which they briefed him about the happenings in the demonstration, including the deaths of 12 PTI workers, as well as Rangers and police personnel.

Gohar said that the PTI founder was unaware of what happened during the party’s protest due to the non-availability of any newspaper or television in jail.
