Global embarrassment engulfs Pakistan’s government as Imran Khan’s health woes spark outrage, complete with cricket stars urging PM Shehbaz Sharif for action. Cutting through the din, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi dropped a bombshell Tuesday, holding PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister Alima Khan responsible for postponing eye exams in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
In a detailed press conference covered by ARY News, Naqvi outlined a key meeting with jail doctors, Khan’s medics, and PTI bigwigs. Accolades flowed: ‘Superb handling,’ per doctors; PTI leaders nodded approval, set to relay positivity.
Naqvi’s follow-up on more tests met with ‘all done.’ Then came the accusation: Alima Khan allegedly blocked progress by telling PTI to reject findings, fearing it would deflate the controversy—resulting in a three-day stall.
‘On one hand, they claim nearness; on the other, full politicization,’ Naqvi lamented, echoing Dawn. ‘Good intent would mean day-one acceptance. Leaders awaited, vetoed by Alima who dismissed everything.’
Context underscores gravity: Supreme Court reports affirm Central Retinal Vein Occlusion diagnosis after PIMS procedure nod. Naqvi slammed PTI’s ploy to monetize misery politically. As pressure builds, this exposes deep family-party rifts in Khan’s ongoing detention saga, questioning priorities in Pakistan’s polarized arena.
