ISLAMABAD: Former President Dr. Arif Alvi revealed that he offered then-Prime Minister Imran Khan a presidential pardon in false cases, only for Khan to outright reject it.
Dr. Alvi shared a post on his X social media platform, saying: “A few months after his arrest, Prisoner No. 804 had already been sentenced in false cases.
At that time, the possibility emerged of using presidential powers to grant immunity or suspend these manipulated sentences for Khan Sahib, both for the public and for him.”
While some users praised Khan’s stance, others praised the jailed premier as a true symbol of bravery, while at the same time questioning the decisions of Dr. Alvi and PTI’s leadership.
According to Dr Alvi, despite obstacles from powerful quarters, he remained in contact with Khan during his imprisonment in Adiala Jail and said Khan refused any pardon in all cases.
Some social media users dismissed the story as “baseless narratives,” saying that Khan’s arrest was more due to his political differences with the establishment rather than the court cases themselves.
