Imran hospital transfer 'drama' riles up PTI
Sister alleges Imran being tortured in jail PTI decides to file contempt plea in SC Reaffirms Sept 27 long march
In a dramatic turn of events, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was moved from Adiala Jail to PIMS hospital instead of the Supreme Court ordered Shifa International Hospital, sparking outrage from the opposition party PTI. Dr Uzma Khan, Imran Khan's sister, recounted the experience, saying he expressed deep distress over being kept in solitary confinement.
The PTI accused the government of contempt of court for not adhering to the Supreme Court's directive. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi called the move an act of contempt towards the courts, vowing to file a contempt petition. Opposition parties vowed to challenge the government's actions and launch a protest on September 27.
