RAWALPINDI: Former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been imprisoned in Adiala jail despite the court’s order to release him three days ago.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s lawyer Taimur Malik said, “We are not being allowed to meet Qureshi.” According to details, Malik said while talking to the media that they are not allowed to meet Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Adiala Jail.
During the conversation, the lawyer of Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the daughter of the former foreign minister is not allowed to meet him in jail. “Until there is a meeting, he cannot say anything about the affidavit,” he said by adding that he will try to meet him today.
