Aleema reveals Mohsin Naqvi promised Imran Khan will be shifted to Al-Shifa

Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan has once again raised concerns about his health.

Speaking to the media at the Dahgal Checkpoint near Adiala Jail after her meeting with Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, Aleema said that Khan had sent a message that he had lost his eyesight and demanded that his personal doctors be granted access to him. Aleema said that Khan's family had informed the authorities that the doctors did not wish to examine him in jail and instead they wanted him to be shifted to hospital for proper treatment.

She said the family had suggested transferring Khan to Al-Shifa International Hospital, adding that his medical data was already available with his personal physicians. According to her, Khan's family was informed that National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq had said two doctors would be sent to the jail, while later they were told about a conference call involving Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

Aleema claimed that Mohsin Naqvi had guaranteed the transfer of the PTI founder to Al-Shifa International Hospital. However, she expressed reservations over a report prepared by a government doctor, saying the family did not consider it accurate and demanded a complete medical examination in the presence of Khan's personal doctors.

She questioned why Imran Khan was being kept in solitary confinement and why family members and personal doctors were not being given access to him. “Until he is shifted to hospital and examined by his own doctors, we will not believe anyone’s assurances,” she said.

Separately, Dr Uzma in her media talk questioned why the cause of the illness had not been disclosed in the medical report, stating that treatment could not begin until the underlying issue was identified. She also asked why family members were not being allowed to meet him.

Meanwhile, Uzma Niazi urged the public to raise their voice for the PTI founder, claiming that meetings with him had earlier been restricted and that the matter should not be treated lightly.
