Islamabad, Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan was hatching plots inside prison to create another "political chaos" in Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's advisor on political and public affairs claimed.
Speaking on Geo News' show 'Naya Pakistan', former Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the court did not allow the 71-year-old Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party founder to hold political meetings in the high-security prison in Adiala.
Khan, who faces more than 200 cases and has been convicted in some of them, has been in prison since August last year.
Sanaullah, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs, stated that the founder is not allowed to make such plans to create chaos while he is in jail.
He stated that the evidence available with the authorities concerned solidifies claims that such planning is taking place in the jail.
The Prime Minister's collaborator, however, stated that the Government does not have audio or video evidence of the planning "but those who are responsible and carry out their duties there do have it."
Sanaullah's statement came after leaders of the former ruling party said they were denied permission to meet the party's jailed founder at Adiala Jail despite waiting a few hours outside the facility earlier this week. .
Commenting on the rally planned by Khan's party in Islamabad, the senior PML-N leader said the decision to hold a power show in Muharram - the first month of the Islamic calendar which begins on Monday - was inappropriate.
He postponed his rally in suburban Islamabad on Saturday after authorities revoked his permit, citing security concerns.
The party was scheduled to organize its power show in Tarnol at 6 pm, for which it had obtained a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the deputy commissioner of Islamabad.
However, the city administration on Friday canceled the permission saying that the NOC issued by the deputy commissioner was reviewed again due to safety concerns.
Earlier in the day, Khan's party filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking contempt proceedings against the Islamabad district administration and the police for canceling the NOC.
He stated that the party had approached the IHC for permission for the rally and during the hearing of his petition, the administration informed the court that permission for the rally had been granted.
Separately, an anti-terrorism court has reserved its decision on Khan's bail applications related to the May 9 incidents, including the Jinnah House case and two other cases, The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
During Saturday's hearing, Khan's lawyer, Advocate Salman Safdar, argued that the founder was being targeted for political reasons.
"In my entire career, I have never seen so many cases against a single individual. Those who were actually inciting against the institutions there were not arrested," Safdar alleged.
"How could a case be filed against him when he was detained at the time of the crime?" -the boss's lawyer questioned.
After hearing arguments from both sides, the court reserved its opinion on Khan's bail applications.
On July 3, a district and sessions court in Islamabad acquitted the founder along with all other accused in a case registered at Aabpara police station in Islamabad.
