ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) vice chairman and former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s lawyer told reporters on Monday that he was not being allowed by the authorities to meet with his client in jail. The lawyer, Taimur Malik, maintained that “not even his daughter is being allowed to see him [Qureshi[“. “Nothing can be said about the undertaking unless a meeting is held [with the PTI leader],” he said, adding that the legal team would once again try to visit him in jail today.
“We can only submit an undertaking after taking directions from him,” Malik stressed.
Notably, the PTI leader remains in police custody five days after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) termed his arrest illegal and issued orders for his release.
Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb had heard the PTI leader’s plea against his arrest under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order Act (3MPO) last week.
