ISLAMABAD, Dec 05 :Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Friday said any meetings with under-trial prisoners, including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s family, must follow legal and prison rules.
Speaking in the Senate in response to a point of public interest raised by opposition Senator Mishal Azam, he said such meetings cannot be allowed if they risk disturbing public order or creating unrest.
He added that if the opposition wishes to form a parliamentary committee on this matter, they must first coordinate with their leadership and obtain clear instructions, he said.
Rana Sanaullah highlighted that democracy progresses through dialogue and cited past invitations by the Prime Minister for opposition leaders to discuss issues in Parliament.
