Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has approached the Supreme Court seeking immediate medical intervention for its incarcerated founder, Imran Khan, requesting that he be shifted to a private medical facility and allowed access to his personal medical team. The application highlighted concerns regarding the health of the 73-year-old former Prime Minister, who is currently battling a serious eye condition while in judicial custody. The plea urged the apex court to ensure that the former premier be immediately shifted to Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, for proper treatment of his eyes from a retina specialist. The legal team also sought the involvement of Khan’s personal physicians, who may be associated with all the procedures of examination and treatment. While the government has maintained that the PTI founder is clinically stable, the opposition has continued to allege a lack of transparency and denial of appropriate care, leading to the legal move.
