PTI protests outside Supreme Court over Imran’s health, pending cases

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) organized a protest outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday to voice concerns over former Prime Minister Imran Khan's health and the delays in his pending cases. However, the protest was called off after the court registrar assured party leaders that the cases would be scheduled for hearing the following week.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi joined the demonstration and expressed serious concerns about reports regarding Khan's health, stressing that the nation has grave reservations about his well-being. Afridi urged that Khan's health should be treated with the seriousness it warrants, and that his treatment should be under the supervision of his personal physicians, alongside his family members.

Afridi also highlighted that Khan had permitted Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for medical treatment despite questions raised about the authenticity of medical certificates in Sharif's case. Afridi claimed that Khan is being imprisoned in fabricated cases while his political opponents were involved in corruption and looting the country's wealth.

The chief minister warned that if the justice system fails to deliver justice, the people would lose hope in the judiciary. PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja announced that the party had approached the Supreme Court registrar to seek early hearings of cases involving Khan and permission for his family members to meet him. Raja assured that the party would return to the streets on Thursday for "true freedom" and appealed to the public to join the protest.
