The PTI once again voiced concerns regarding party founder Imran Khan’s health, taking exception to the government’s alleged “silence and lack of clarity” over the matter.
The incarcerated ex-prime minister’s family and party have been raising concerns about his health since his eye ailment — right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) — came to light in late January.
In a statement on X, the PTI expressed “profound concern over the growing anxiety spreading among the nation regarding” Imran’s health.
“Any ambiguity surrounding the health of a leader who commands the confidence of millions is unacceptable. The government’s silence and lack of clarity have only intensified public unease rather than alleviating it,” the PTI contended.
“This is not merely a political matter; it is a test of national trust, human rights, and the government’s responsibility,” the party asserted.
Stating that “any uncertainty regarding his health and safety is intolerable”, it stressed that if the government had nothing to conceal, then there was no justification for “delaying full transparency”.
The party reiterated its demand that Imran’s personal physicians be granted “immediate and unrestricted access so they may conduct all necessary medical examinations, including blood tests and any other required diagnostic procedures.”
