Barrister Gohar again seeks permission to meet PTI founder

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has once again appealed for permission to meet the party’s founding chairman

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has once again appealed for permission to meet the party’s founding chairman, saying that he has not met him since October 15, 2025.

Barrister Gohar said he was once again requesting the authorities to allow him to meet the PTI founder. He strongly denied reports or claims suggesting that he had met the party founder after October 15, 2025.

“I once again request that I be allowed to meet the founding chairman,” Barrister Gohar said, reiterating his demand for access to the incarcerated PTI leader.

The PTI chairman clarified that he had not met the party founder since October 15 last year and categorically rejected any suggestion that a meeting had taken place after that date. According to him, despite repeatedly submitting requests for a meeting, he had neither been offered an opportunity nor granted permission to meet the former prime minister.

Barrister Gohar said that his repeated requests had not resulted in any meeting being arranged. He maintained that he had made several attempts to obtain permission but had not received a positive response from the relevant authorities.

The PTI chairman said he would once again submit a request for permission to meet the party founder. He also stressed the importance of allowing the founder’s family members and legal team to meet him.

His remarks come amid continued political and legal developments surrounding the PTI founder, whose access to family members, lawyers and party leadership has remained a subject of political discussion.

Barrister Gohar’s statement also seeks to clarify his own position regarding reports about his alleged meetings with the PTI founder. By specifying October 15, 2025 as the date of his last meeting, he rejected any claims that he had subsequently met the party leader.

The PTI chairman emphasized that he had not been given even a single opportunity to meet the founder despite repeatedly requesting permission. He therefore appealed again to the authorities to facilitate a meeting.

The issue of access to political leaders in custody has remained particularly significant for their parties, as meetings with senior leadership allow them to discuss political strategy, legal matters and organizational issues. For PTI, communication with its founder is especially important because party members have frequently sought his guidance on political and legal matters.

Barrister Gohar’s latest comments indicate that he intends to continue pursuing permission for a meeting. He did not indicate that any such permission had been granted.

He also called for the founder’s family and lawyers to be given access, underscoring their role in maintaining communication and handling his legal affairs.

The PTI chairman concluded by reiterating his request for permission to meet the party founder. His statement makes clear that, according to his account, no meeting has taken place between the two since October 15, 2025.

The development is likely to attract further political attention as PTI continues to seek access to its founder and maintain communication with him regarding the party’s political and legal affairs.
