PML-N leaders are sending mixed signals about whether Imran Khan’s sons, Suleman and Qasim, should be allowed to enter Pakistan to lead protests for their father’s release. Senator Irfan Siddiqui said they should be allowed in—as long as they stay within the law—but warned that if they break any rules, they could face arrest.
Others were more critical. Law Minister Aqeel Malik pointed out that both sons are British citizens, and under Pakistani law, foreign nationals aren’t allowed to engage in political activities. Interior Minister Talal Chaudhry seemed more open to the idea but said any violence during protests wouldn’t be tolerated.
Rana Sanaullah echoed that sentiment, saying action would be taken if things turn aggressive. Meanwhile, Siddiqui downplayed their influence, joking that the brothers don’t even speak proper Urdu and wouldn’t be able to handle the Pakistani heat or food.
Jemima Goldsmith, their mother, called the government’s attitude a “personal vendetta,” slamming the idea of arresting them as undemocratic and politically motivated.
