Answering a question regarding his meeting with the founder of PTI in the Adiala Jail, Saif said that he informed the Imran Khan about different suggestions and got his point of view, he said, during the consultations, the government offer to allow a sit-in at Sangjani area was also discussed.

He revealed that Imran Khan had given nod to relocate the protest from D-Chowk to Sangjani, suburbs of Islamabad, but unfortunately his decision was not implemented. Saif stopped short telling the name of the person who obstructed the implementation of this decision. Saif said that our basic demand is the release of Imran Khan but if the immediate fulfillment of this demand is not possible then at least some better facilities should be provided to the founder PTI, as right now he is being held in a small cell for more than 36 hours.
