No objection to Imran's sons joining PTI's protest in Pakistan: PML-N senator

• Imran wants to bring his children into politics: Irfan Siddiqui.
• Says his sons’ presence will not cause any political upheaval.
• Dispels reports of change of government in KP.
  

The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Irfan Siddiqui has downplayed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s announcement that party's founding chairman Imran Khan's sons would join the anti-government movement in Pakistan. 

Speaking on Geo News' morning programme "Geo Pakistan," PML-N senator Irfan Siddiqui said no one would object to their [Imran’s sons] return if they abide by legal boundaries.

Siddiqui’s remarks come just days after Imran’s sister Aleema Khan had said that the PTI founder’s UK-based sons, Qasim and Suleiman , plan to join an upcoming PTI protest movement.

Speaking to reporters outside Adiala Jail, Aleema said the two brothers would first go to the US to raise awareness about their father’s legal situation and they would then come to Pakistan to take part in the party’s political campaign.

Speaking about the matter in today's show, Siddiqui said: “He [Imran Khan] wants to bring his children into politics, but their presence will not cause any political upheaval…there will be no storm if his children come to Pakistan,” he said.

While commenting on PTI’s planned protest movement for Khan’s release, Irfan said that no one can secure the release of Imran Khan. “They [his sons] or his sisters cannot secure his release. [Imran Khan’s] release depends on his actions,” Siddiqui added.

The senator also dispelled the rumours of any change of government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying the current setup will continue to rule the province.

A day ago, talking to the media outside the IHC, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said that it was the right of the sons of PTI founder to be a part of the movement.

Raja noted that the family’s relationship with the PTI founder was of a different nature.

He said that the party founder and his spouse Bushra Bibi have the right to have their sentences suspended soon. “It is not wrong to come out for one’s rights as Benazir Bhutto also launched a movement,” he contended.

He said if the status of the province was to be changed, two-third majority is necessary, and the government could not manage two-thirds majority even after getting reserved seats.
