ISLAMABAD – A close aide of former prime minister Imran Khan has claimed to have positive information about Pakistani journalist Imran Riaz Khan who has been missing for nearly two months now.
PTI leader Dr Shehbaz Gill said in a tweet on Wednesday that he spoke to a very senior journalist friend who told him that “Imran Riaz is fine and doing well.”
Gill said that Imran Riaz Khan has been kept in a better place, the reason for not releasing him is to keep his voice down, now he will be released soon.
Shahbaz Gill praised Imran Riaz’s lawyer and wrote that “here it would be wrong if the hard work and commitment of his lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq is not appreciated, he acted consciously, not enthusiastically.”
The PTI leader also wrote that “those who kept spreading rumors about Imran Riaz will proved to be liars.”
