ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Friday expressed concern over reports about incarcerated party founder Imran Khan\u2019s health, saying the information emerging about the former prime minister\u2019s condition was not encouraging. Speaking to reporters outside Parliament House in Islamabad, Gohar said the entire nation was concerned about Imran\u2019s health and stressed that there should be no compromise on his medical treatment.
\n\u201cThe reports concerning the PTI founder\u2019s health are not encouraging, and the entire nation is worried,\u201d he said. The PTI chairman said lawyer Salman Safdar had managed to meet Imran and received certain instructions concerning his health and pending legal cases. Gohar said the party had approached the Supreme Court seeking implementation of its August 18 order concerning the former prime minister\u2019s medical treatment.
\nThe court had directed that Imran be shifted for treatment and that a medical board be constituted to assess his condition, the PTI chairman said. He said an application had been submitted requesting the apex court to fix the matter for an early hearing. \u201cDecisions should be taken regarding the PTI founder\u2019s transfer to hospital and medical treatment,\u201d Gohar said.
\nThe PTI chairman also called for an end to political tensions in the country, saying the situation should not be allowed to deteriorate further. He demanded an end to the detention of lawmakers, party workers and supporters. Gohar further expressed concern over the detention of Imran\u2019s sisters, saying the party had yet to receive information about their condition, and demanded their immediate release.
\nGohar\u2019s remarks come amid uncertainty surrounding Imran\u2019s health following alarming statements circulated on social media by his sister Rubina Khan and son Kasim Khan. According to The News, Rubina, in a statement shared by Kasim, said the former prime minister had conveyed that his blood pressure had suddenly risen to 192, raising concerns about his safety in prison.
\nShe demanded that Imran be immediately admitted to an independent medical facility in the presence of his personal doctor. Kasim also expressed concern over his father\u2019s prolonged isolation, warning of serious consequences for his health. However, the source of the information shared by Imran\u2019s family remains unclear. Safdar, who met Imran and his wife Bushra Bibi at Adiala Jail on November 2, subsequently distanced himself from the reports, saying he was not the source of the information circulating about the former premier\u2019s health.
\nThe lawyer said his responsibilities were strictly legal and that he was not acting as anyone\u2019s messenger. Following the meeting, Safdar said he had been allowed to meet Imran after seven months and Bushra Bibi after 11 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
