The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has expressed worries about the health conditions of its founder, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and senior party leader Ejaz Chaudhry. The party attributes their deteriorating health to neglect and limited access to medical care. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi reportedly suffer from serious eye issues, while Chaudhry’s kidney disease has advanced to the third stage. The PTI is urging for their transfer to proper medical facilities for more attentive treatment.
The party’s demands, as reported by a leading Pakistani daily Dawn, emphasize the necessity for authorities to address these health concerns promptly. The PTI insists on providing its ailing members with adequate medical attention, stressing the importance of their well-being. The editorial in Dawn underscores the significance of not politicizing the health and welfare of individuals, regardless of the ongoing political dynamics.
Imran Khan’s son, Kasim, has raised concerns about his father’s detention, labeling it as “arbitrary” and a violation of international human rights standards. During the UN Human Rights Council session, Kasim highlighted a broader pattern of repression in Pakistan, citing the treatment of political prisoners and journalists. He emphasized the need for upholding international human rights conventions and ensuring proper medical care for his father, who is reportedly held in solitary confinement.
