Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan finally has talked to his sons telephonically from Adiala Jail on Saturday following the court orders, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Sources said that the WhatsApp telephone call lasted for 30 minutes.
Sources further said that Suleman and Qasim became emotional while talking to their father in jail but Imran Khan smiled and comforted his sons.
Earlier, the superintendent of jail had refused to comply with the same court's order to allow Imran to talk to his sons. The official argued that the PTI chief was charged under the Official Secrets Act, and those charged under this law are not allowed to make phone calls, according to the jail manual.
Special Court Judge Abual Hasnat Muhammad Zulqarnain issued this order on Wednesday while hearing an application filed by the former premier through his counsel, Shiraz Ahmed Ranjha.
Imran is currently detained at Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, facing a trial under the Official Secrets Act, 1923, for allegedly misusing a diplomatic cipher during his last days as prime minister. He was previously incarcerated at Attock Jail after his conviction in the gifts repository case on August 5.
