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 raise concerns about the health of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the delays in his pending cases. The demonstration was called off after the court registrar assured party leaders that Imran's cases would be scheduled for hearing soon.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi joined the protest and expressed serious concern over reports regarding Imran's health, emphasizing the need for his treatment under the supervision of his personal physicians and with his family present. Afridi criticized Imran for allowing Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for medical treatment during his tenure, despite concerns about medical certificate authenticity.

He also alleged that Imran Khan is being imprisoned in fabricated cases while his political opponents are involved in corruption and misusing public resources. Afridi warned that if injustice continued, the situation could become difficult to manage, urging the judiciary to deliver justice to maintain public faith. PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja announced that the party had received confirmation that Imran's cases would be heard next week, and the party would return to the streets the following day for "true freedom."
