Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi has firmly pledged his support to party Chairman Imran Khan, saying he stands by him.

Qureshi’s commitment to party and its leader was reaffirmed during recent meeting held at Adiala Jail, where he met his daughter Gauhar Bano Qureshi and lawyer Barrister Taimur Malik.

In video shared by PTI’s official handle, Qureshi’s daughter conveyed his message to PTI workers, stating, “I was, am currently and will continue to stand by Imran Khan.” Their discussions encompassed important legal consultations, particularly regarding Qureshi’s alleged illegal detention, with significant hearing scheduled at Rawalpindi Bench of Lahore High Court today. Yesterday, former PTI leaders, including former Minister Fawad Chaudhry, ex-MNA Mahmood Baqi Moulvi and former Sindh Governor Imran Ismail met with PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Adiala Jail.

Rumours ran rife that party defectors had ‘convinced’ Qureshi to part ways with Imran Khan.

Earlier, while talking to journalists at his Zaman Park residence, PTI Chairman Imran Khan nominated party’s Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi as one who will hold reins in case if he is arrested.
