I have always considered PM Imran as one of her biggest heroes
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Aafia Siddiqui, the Pakistani woman jailed in the US, on Tuesday requested Prime Minister Imran Khan for her release, diplomatic sources told Dunya News.
According to diplomatic sources, Siddiqui wrote a letter to PM Imran Khan which she handed over to Pakistani Consul General during his visit to the prison.
In her letter to the prime minister, she said that Imran Khan had supported her in the past and appealed the premier for help to get her release from the jail. “I want to get out of prison, my imprisonment in the US is illegal as I was kidnapped and taken to the US,” she said.
She further said she has always considered him as one of her biggest heroes and wish to see him as the Khalifa of all Muslims. He should be careful of the munafiq around him.
She further threw challenge of debate to anyone who has doubts on Imran Khan.
In September 2010, Aafia Siddiqui, the female Pakistani scientist convicted of attempting to kill US military personnel, had been sentenced to 86 years in prison.
Siddiqui was interrogated by US officials in Afghanistan when she grabbed a rifle and opened fire, shouting "death to Americans".
Prosecutors in New York had called her an al Qaeda sympathiser and sought life imprisonment.
