- Party leaders demanded immediate specialised treatment and accused authorities of violating legal and humanitarian norms.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders warned that the party is prepared to launch a countrywide movement if concerns over Imran Khan’s health continue to be ignored. Speaking at a press conference, party figures said the jailed former prime minister should be moved to Shifa International Hospital for specialised treatment.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi accused the federal government of acting irresponsibly and unlawfully by denying Khan access to personal doctors and family members. PTI leaders argued that, as a former prime minister, he must be provided proper medical care and that the state has both a legal and moral obligation to ensure this.
The remarks sharpen political tensions between PTI and the federal government, with the party framing the issue as both a human-rights and rule-of-law matter. PTI also reiterated that Khan remains central to its political strategy and public mobilisation.
