Imran Khan's old interview on Aleem Khan's Park View City allotment surfaces online

An old interview of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan has resurfaced online, in which he discussed denying land allotment to Aleem Khan for Park View City.

The video clip, now circulating widely after severe flooding in Park View City — a housing society owned by current federal minister Aleem Khan — shows Imran alleging that Aleem Khan acquired 300 kanals of land in the Ravi River belt illegally.

“He was trying to legalize the land, just like the Sharifs did while in power, but I refused,” Imran Khan said in the interview.

The resurfacing of the clip has reignited debate about land regularization and housing projects in flood-prone areas, as Punjab reels from some of the worst flooding in recent years.

Continuous rains and the release of water from India have kept the Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi rivers in high flood, with water levels still rising. Several areas of Lahore have been inundated, forcing emergency evacuations.

In Shahdara, housing societies along the Ravi River were submerged, prompting residents to leave their homes.

Videos circulating on social media showed police making announcements for evacuation, while rescue teams assisted families in moving to safer locations.

Floodwaters at Shahdara have reached a dangerous level, submerging Farrukhabad, Aziz Colony, Amin Park, Afghan Colony, Shafiqabad, and Maridwala. Water has also entered Badami Bagh and spread into several areas of Chohang.
