He also claimed that Imran Khan was being kept in isolation and denied meetings with family members, party leaders and doctors.<br \/>\nThe chief minister said all constitutional and legal avenues had been explored, leaving protest as the only option. He maintained that political and national issues should be resolved through constitutional and legal means rather than force.<br \/>\nAfridi said his government was following Imran Khan\u2019s vision, adding that the Aug 5 gathering would mark an important moment for the party\u2019s supporters.
