Sharjeel Memon, Muhammad Zubair urge govt to implement SC order on Imran Khan’s hospital transfer
K-P Information Minister Shafi Jan calls govt’s review appeal delaying tactic in providing medical facilities to Imran
Political figures Sharjeel Inam Memon and Muhammad Zubair Umar have called upon the Pakistani government to promptly comply with the Supreme Court's (SC) order mandating the transfer of Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for medical care. On August 20, 2026, Memon took to social media platform X to express his disappointment in the government's decision to appeal the SC order, asserting that human life and health must be prioritized over political considerations.
Similarly, Zubair Umar from the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Ayin-e-Pakistan (TTAP) organization emphasized the need for immediate action on the SC decision, stating that 48 hours had passed since the order was issued and the government must act without further delay. Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon also criticized the government's appeal, emphasizing that providing medical treatment to Imran Khan is a fundamental constitutional right.
The government's review petition was filed in response to the SC's order, which the government deemed "discriminatory in nature". Imran Khan's lawyer, Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, has also threatened to file a contempt of court petition if the government fails to comply with the court's directives.
