(PTI) Chairman Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
’s counsel Naeem Haider Panjotha has claimed that his client has been provided C-class facilities and kept in "poor condition" in Attock jail.
Panjotha, the PTI chief’s counsel, said this on Monday after meeting his client in prison.
Khan, the deposed prime minister, was arrested on August 5 after a district and sessions court in the federal capital convicted him for corrupt practices related to the state gift depository — allegations which he denies.
"Charges of misdeclaration of assets have been proven against PTI chairman," Judge Humayun Dilawar wrote in his judgment, handing Khan three years in jail, along with a fine of Rs100,000, while issuing an arrest warrant for his immediate arrest.
After his arrest, Khan was moved to Attock jail.
In today’s media talks, Khan’s lawyer said the former prime minister, who was removed from power via a parliamentary vote last year, was provided with a small room "which has an open washroom".
Elaborating on the poor conditions of the cell, the lawyer said the jail cell was infested with flies and bugs where the PTI chief is being kept.
"The PTI chairman says he is ready to spend his whole life in jail," the lawyer added.
Khan: "Hey now! I don't think I ever said that"
Panjotha further said that Khan told him that police did not show him an arrest warrant at the time of arrest and tried to break the door of his wife Bushra Bibi's room.
