Govt to implement court order on Imran Khan’s hospital transfer, Tariq Fazal tells Senate

Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry informed the Senate on Tuesday that the administration would comply with the Supreme Court's directive to transfer the jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to a private hospital in Islamabad within two days. The court order directed the government to move Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital, where he, his sister Dr Uzma, Mashal Azam, and PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja had sought the transfer along with access to his personal physicians, family, and counsel.

PTI lawmakers applauded the court's decision, while Senator Azam Swati emphasized the need for resolving matters with the PTI founder. An additional Senator, Faisal Javed, thanked the Supreme Court and urged the administration to implement the decision, while addressing concerns about daily road closures negatively affecting the economy.

Senator Mohsin Aziz highlighted the ongoing 10-day transporter strike causing disruptions in raw material supplies and industry, calling for unity between the government and opposition.
