The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly held a brief session on Friday to condemn the federal government for allegedly violating Supreme Court orders regarding the treatment of PTI founder Imran Khan. Deputy Speaker Suriyya Bibi chaired the session, during which treasury MPA Sajjad Barakwal asserted that the government and PTI's political opponents had violated the court's orders by moving Imran to a public hospital instead of Shifa International Hospital.
Barakwal claimed the federal government feared Imran Khan and blocked his hospitalization, ordering the move after a brief medical checkup. The opposition PML-N member Sobia Shahid's presence was questioned due to the lack of quorum, leading to an exchange with treasury members. Law minister Aftab Alam Afridi complained about opposition lawmakers persistently asking other members to leave the house despite being warned.
The session was adjourned until the following Monday following the passage of the KP Promotion of Digital Payments Bill, 2026.
