RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Terrorism Court in Rawalpindi Monday rejected PTI founder Imran Khan’s request to allow him to speak to his sons, Qasim and Suleman, once a week.

ATC judge Malik Ejaz Asif rejected the plea filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan for a WhatsApp call with his sons weekly.

In response to Khan’s petition, the jail administration told the court that there is no legal provision for allowing the accused to have a conversation with their relatives via WhatsApp.

However, the court previously ruled that Imran Khan, who is imprisoned in Adiala Jail, be allowed to speak with his children twice a month currently resides in the UK with their mother Jemima Khan.

Following the administration’s response, Judge Malik Ejaz dismissed Imran Khan’s appeal to speak to his children once a week via WhatsApp.

The ATC Judge sought a response from the jail administration over Khan’s claim that he was not allowed to speak with his sons despite being allowed to do so by law.
