- Imran Khan spoke to his sons for twenty minutes.
- Family demands treatment at Shifa International Hospital Islamabad.
- Supreme Court ordered eye checkup by February 16.
Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan, has confirmed that the former prime minister spoke to his sons via telephone. This communication lasted approximately twenty minutes and was facilitated following specific instructions from the Chief Justice of Pakistan. Aleema Khan shared on social media that the children were immensely pleased to hear their father’s voice after a long period of separation during his incarceration.
Urgent Medical Treatment Required For Failing Eyesight
The family is now prioritizing the immediate medical treatment of Imran Khan to address serious health concerns related to his vision. Aleema Khan stated that they are waiting for his checkup to begin at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad under the supervision of his personal physicians. The focus is to allow specialist doctors to intervene and restore his vision, which has reportedly suffered due to prolonged confinement and lack of specialized care in the current facility.
Allegations Of Deliberate Delay In Providing Healthcare
According to statements from Aleema Khan, the delay in providing necessary medical attention was intentional and has resulted in severe damage to the PTI founder’s eyesight. She emphasized that further delays are unacceptable and that immediate expert intervention is the only way to prevent permanent vision loss. The family maintains that timely treatment is a fundamental right that must be upheld by the authorities to ensure the health of the former prime minister is not compromised further.
Supreme Court Directives On Medical Examination
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has already issued orders to the federal government to ensure a comprehensive medical examination for Imran Khan before February 16. This directive comes after complaints were raised regarding his right eye, which currently retains only fifteen percent of its vision functionality. The court has mandated that the examination must take place in the presence of expert doctors to assess the extent of the damage and initiate proper corrective measures immediately.
